Authors' sort in Kindle Paperwhite

Hello there !
I'm using the last Kindle Paperwhite 32 GB and Calibre 3.48.
Everything runs fine when transferring azw3 ebooks from Calibre to Kindle, however when trying to sort books by authors in the Kindle, they appear sorted as:
First Name, Last Name (eg: Albert Camus, before Charles Andler)

I would have expected books sorted as:
Last Name, First Name (eg: Charles Andler, before Albert Camus)

The metadata in calibre are sorted correctly, and in the Device Window, when I click on the author column, they sort as Last Name, First Name...
In the Kindle 'document' directory, names appear correctly as 'Camus, Albert'.
(In calibre send to device options, the setting is {author_sort}/{title} - {authors}, as expected)

I suppose the problem lies in the way the Kindle reads the azw3 metadata calibre sends.

Is there a way to resolve this ?

Thanks.
