Author Sort - 'All searched books have a valid author sort.'

But I don't know what this means, ha ha. Does this indicate something in the metadata that might be related to the issue?

(And to copy books onto the device, I select the books in the Calibre library, then right-click and do 'Send to Device'. I usually send and delete from library.)
Bah! You did everything correctly for the books reaching the device to have the proper order. Something else is in play.
Plugboard, using some alternate field for Authors (QC only does standard fields)
Language different from the others.
