Which means your calibre library has 6 books with the author as "A.B. Person" and 15 with the author as "AB Person". Or maybe you have "A. B. Person" (which is the way calibre generally does it if the when downloading metadata) and "A B Person". Or some combination of all these.

Exactly right. When I copied the books onto my Clara, Calibre showed 6 books as "A.B. Person" and 15 as "A B Person" (with spaces).

All this sounds like it is working correctly. But, it doesn't sound like you fixed the metadata in the calibre library. If these books are all by the same author, select them in calibre, click the button to edit the metadata and the bulk metadata editor will open. There you can fix the common metadata such as the author and author sort. Then do the update to the device.

(e.a.)
As I stated in my initial post, this is exactly what I did. As soon as I realised my mistake, and before I did anything else, I did a bulk metadata fix. All 21 books subsequently showed (and still do) "A.B. Person" in Calibre. Thus, when I made all the attempts mentioned in the earlier threads, the metadata for the books in the Calibre library was (and is) in the format I wished, all 21 the same.
EDIT: I really AM too stupid to live! I was doing all this
without selecting the books - My sincere apologies for having taken up your valuable time. I shall slink off and attempt to acquire sentience.
