I want to get sorted Authors by
Forname Lastname from A to Z or
Forname Lastname from Z to A
Author_sort upwards ---> Adams, Ben to Zygowski, Tom
Author_sort downwards --> Zygowski, Tom to Adams, Ben
Authors upwards -->Ben Adams to Tom Zygowsky
Authors downwards --> Tom Zygowsky to Ben Adams
It shoud be:
Authors upwards --> Aaron Maier to Zyske Terence
Authors downwards --> Zyske Terence to Aaron Maier

I say it again: in calibre, by design the authors column is always sorted by author_sort. It has done this since at least 2010, and will not change.
If you don't like the results then you have two choices:
- Copy author to author_sort. You can do this in the Manage Authors dialog available by right-clicking the authors column in tag browser.
- Create a composite column (Type "column built from other columns" that doesn't "behave like tags") with the template {authors} and sort/search column by Text. This column will sort using its own contents, not author_sort.
