As a rule, it works better to store the author name as the natural version of the name. Or whatever you would expect to see on the cover of the book. Use the author sort for the alternate version. You can use either in a template when saving the book or in a metadata plugboard. And if you prefer to see the sort version in calibre, you can display that instead.
