If that's the case, then shouldn't it be Kobo's job to make the metadata in their eBooks consistent?

Dear rCentros, Dear everyone,
First of all, I am a she. But don't worry, I'm not offended at all, just smiling at the assumption.
I indeed bought the Kobo Clara so I wouldn't have to convert my Kobo books to epub and for that the Clara is wonderful.
About my other problem: I can happily tell you it has been solved in the meantime. My husband looked at Davidfor's mail to me, explaining how to go about it, and he found my problem in 5 minutes!
I had been doing it all wrong.
All I had/have to do is upload the books I want on my Clara on Calibre first. If there are 10 books by Karin Slaughter for instance, I have to check they're all named in the same manner, then I have to "send to device".
That last step I never did before. If I follow these steps, my books are on my Kobo just as they should.
The only sad thing about the sorting of books in Kobo, is that when you go to "my books", and choose "by author" and then "by family name", you still have the first name first: Madeleine Albright, then Sharon Bolton, then Ben Crass, then Ivar Danielson.
That is way easier in the Tolino: you go to "authors" and it's Albright Madeline, Bolton Sharon etc.
Apart from that, now that I know how to put my books on it through Calibre, me happy.
