If anyone uses calibre, I would like advice on how to setup a plugboard to do this.

With recent firmware the author sorting works differently in different places, and unfortunately the last-name sorting of the Authors tab is just plain broken, there is no way to make it sort all names correctly regardless what format you use. But you will get better results if you use "Fn Ln" format, because the comma is used to separate the author names in books with multiple authors.
The author sort in the main Books tab sorts by last name and works correctly if you use "Fn Ln" format. It takes account of special words in the name such as "Jr.", but for multi-word surnames that are not recognised as special forms you will need to use a hard space to join the words of the surname together.
The Calibre plugboard I use is shown in
