Author First/Last Name Confusion

I have just replaced my Sony PRS-T1 with a Forma and really like it.

When I go into My Books>Authors>Sort:last (or first) name, some books are listed twice once under the first name and once under the last name, in the same list. For instance War of the Worlds appears twice in the list, once under "H. G." and once under "Wells". Similarly "A Place of Execution" has entries under "Val" and "McDermid".

All these entries appeared correctly in the Sony.

In Calibre the authors name is entered using the format lastname, firstname

I can't work out why this should happen with some authors and not others, and why for one book by a particular author and not the other 8 books by the same author!

In the My Books>Books list, all titles/authors appear correctly - i.e.
"War of the Worlds
Wells, H. G."

Any help in correcting this so that the book only appears once in each list would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks
