My metadata is all correct with "author" being First Name Last Name, but "author sort" being Last Name, First Name. I understood that the calibre library file structure was based off the author sort field, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

Any idea how I can fix this without having both author and author sort being Last Name, First Name?

Any help would be fantastic!

There is a Preferences: TWEAKs to change the default sort (for new entries. You need to run an sort update for existing).

BUT WHY. You should really treat the Library folder as a black box. (any manual change will damage the linkages )
The various 'Send To' tools use templates to set how you want it delivered to your devices. default was {authors} - {title}
