1. I imported the book into Calibre and made my meta data changes (herland2). As you can see, I made sure that both "Author" and "Author Sort" were entered as "lastname, firstname". I clicked okay.

2. Once back in the main window, I right clicked on the book title and chose "Convert E-books". Once I was in the convert window, I clicked the "page set-up" icon and for the "Destination Profile", I chose "Kindle" (herland6). I clicked okay and was sent back to the main window.

3. I watch the hour glass do it's dance for a few moments. I then went to my Calibre ebook directory and transferred the resulting .mobi file to my Kindle "documents" folder (herland7 - before and after). The title was changed and I was able to sort by author and have the book show up with the "G" authors.
Thanks, daffy. Sorry it took me so long to respond. I tried again and still could not sort by author. Also, I noticed that my book was no longer left justified and I could not change it. Calibre was acting strangely. I could swear half the commands were in Arabic. I must have been having a font problem also. I might wait for a few upgrades and try again. I do appreciate your help.
