Thanks for all your comments/suggestions.
However, I may not have explained myself properly and I don't understand the distinction between 'Author' and 'Author-sort'.
Most of my books appear in Calibre, in the column 'Author(s)', as First Name Last Name, which I asume you express as FN LN. For example, "Bernard Cornwell", where Bernard is in fact the first name. Yet, when clicking on the Heading of the Author(s) column some of his books appear under the "B", ie, with authors whose LN starts with a "B", and other books listed in the same way, as "Bernard Cornwell", are listed with authors whose LN starts with a "C". This is inconsistent: the same author, expressed in the same way is sorted differently.
