Changing the Preferences is for FUTURE adds.

The sort you see are EXISTING sorts.

One of the reasons to not do the immediate change is some of those may have 'corrected' data (names that do not fit the general rules).
After you make the change: Right click any Autor in the Tag Browser: Manage Authors: Recalculate all author sort values (a Button at the bottom)
in your case the Copy button might do
