Not the best position.

Author sorting in Calibre has always been a bit "treacherous". It makes sense and is consistentit, but it's took me a while to get used to it and to make sure it works properly:
1) it doesn't exactly use the value "authors", but a close friend and invisible one "author_sort"
2) this "author_sort" value can be wrong individually for each book (red border around the field "Author sort")

If you think there is really a mistake, send a list of authors with their "author_sort" values as saved in Calibre.
Send the order given by Calibre, and then the order you expected. In detail (10-20 lines).

To correct the incorrect "author_sort" of the books, Selecte all books, launched a "Bulk editing metadata" and checked only "Automatically set author sort".

But that's just one step. All of this is mixed into several options and features scattered throughout Calibre.
To get the result you want, you will have to go very slowly, step by step.
