Unable to rename some Authors

Hello,
I am seeing an issue when I try to edit the author field on some entries but the changes I make are never saved. This typically happens when I have a book with two authors listed. I usually like to put the authors in the order that they appear on the cover. For example, I have the book:

Fortune's Stroke by Eric Flint and David Drake
(ISBN 0671319981)

When it was first entered, the author field was populated with: David Drake & Eric Flint based upon the file name (read metadata from file is unchecked). Since the authors are listed in reverse order, I opened the edit meta information window for the item and changed both the author and author sort fields to reflect the correct order. When I click OK, however, the entry in Calibre does not change. I've restarted Calibre and tried this multiple times and cannot get the change to stick. I haven't tried fully deleting and re-adding the object yet because I have quite a few of these and so I wanted to know if there was a real issue here before I did so.

Thanks!
Danny
