There may be characters embedded in fields that look the same but have different numeric values, and so sort differently.
There may be spaces or punctuation that differ in ways that are hard to notice.
At no time have I experienced a bug in calibre that cause the sorting to be off. It has always been a correct sort, but perhaps not always the immediate expected sort. What you think you see is not always what is there.

Not sure if it's the same: I've found the
Edit metadata->Copy metadata and
Edit metadata->Paste metadata options invaluable for maintaining consistent metadata. They work at the book list level, I shortcutted them to Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V; there's a Tweak to limit which columns get Pasted.
