I just tried using an "Author" of 'Jake' and "Author Sort" of 'Kellerman, Jonathan' in Calibre. When I convert and transfer the book to Kobo and sort by Author, it displays 'Jake" as the author but it is sorted under the Js; If Kobo was using the "Author Sort", it should show up under the Ks.

What I meant is that the kobo is generating its own ln,fn author sort, not that it's using calibre's. Use calibre's book editor and look at the content.opf; I'm guessing that the e-readers only use the ones that start with dc: and probably not the meta ones that have calibre: in their name field.
Also, if you need to swap the last and first names yet again, get the Quality Check plugin for calibre; it has a thing that does just that, among lots of other useful things.
