I had some of the same issue when I first started editing the metadata in Calibre. Here's the procedure that works for me:
Change the author to last, first (Deb's right -not just the author sort) Also you need to do this after you look up the metadata and get the cover because when it looks up the metadata, 50% of the time it changes it back to first last.

I then convert the book to mobi (yes, I know it's already mobi, but changing the metadata and transfering the .prc file works only some of the time) This seems to be the only sure fire solution.

cheers
