You can automatically change authors on added books using the "Rules to manipulate author names" in Preferences / Adding books / Adding actions tab / Control how authors are processed. The rule shown in the screen capture will change any author of the form "letters-without-comma surname" to "surname, letters-without-comma".
This rule will produce the wrong answer for any name with a suffix such as Fred Flintstone PhD (result: PhD, Fred Flintstone). It will also get the wrong answer for names with two part surnames such as Charles De Gaulle (result: Gaulle, Charles De). You will certainly want to inspect the authors to see if the result is what you want. For that reason I probably wouldn't use the rule at all, manually correcting authors in Edit Metadata.
