Yes, that was it. If I set the author field to "Lastname, Firstname" in Calibre then when I send the book to the Kindle, it's sorted properly under "Lastname, Firstname" but is displayed on the Kindle home page as "Firstname Lastname". Perfect; that's what I wanted.
Often the best solution turns out to be the simplest. Thank you, Kovid (and William of Ockham). Now I have to go through all my books in Calibre and reverse the author names...
