Reign,
I have an experiment for you. This isn't necessarily the way you want to do it long term, but just to make sure you are seeing/working with the right stuff.
Click on a book to select it. Then click on the button at the top that says: "Edit meta information". You will see two fields for the author
Author(s): _______________
Author Sort: ______________
In both fields, type in LastName, FirstName then hit OK. This book should now be sorted by LastName. Assuming this works OK, you know that Calibre is sorting OK.
Now you need to figure out how to manage the name fields to get the sort you want. You can use the Author field to set a display and the author sort field to set a different style for the sort. That is, you can set the Author field to FirstName LastName and the Author Sort field to LastName, FirstName.
So its up to you whether you want to sort by what you display (using just the Author(s) field) or you want to display one thing (Author Field) and sort by another (Author Sort).
