with the authors last name first. For the life of my I can't figure out how to do this, I have added and re-done my library multiple times trying to figure this out. I've searched around here and found nothing, I am lost.

You are not the first to ask this question. Unless something has changed it might be best to think of the Calibre library has being a closed black box. Why look under the hood at how Calibre stores its files.
Check the FAQ here.
If you wish to keep your source files a certain way go for it. If you want your files on your device a certain way Calibre allows for that. It seems that Kovid has made the decision, in order to maintain a level of quality control and to avoid user confusion or unintentional mischief, to keep the internal Calibre structure static.
However he provides a robust interface for sorting and finding any book in the Calibre library. Click on the big luggage tag icon in the bottom right hand corner next to jobs icon to see the various intuitive ways you can sort or explore this library.
If things have changed I may be wrong, but I don't think I am. My structure is as you describe.
If this is a must have item and you can't sleep at night then follow chaley's advice.
Good Luck
