Question Two Problems: Author Names and Series

Hello:

I have been using Calibre for a very long time and I have never been able two things no matter how hard I try! They are:

1. I prefer Author names (and, hence Author Sort) to be First Name Last Name (FN LN). I can force this if I use Quality Check | Fix | Swap Author FN LN <-> LN, FN but before I can use this I have to be very careful to only select the ones that are already LN, FN because if I select one that is already FN LN, it'll go the other way! It would be nice to have an option to LN, FN -> FN LN but alas, no joy there.

2. I have a Kobo Clara (I tell you that because this may differ among readers) and I would like for the books to display thus (an example only):

White Jade
The Project [1]

or similar so that in the index of books I can see the series and the number in the series.

I would appreciate any advice anyone can give.
