I would have though a more useful version of this enhancement would be to examine the author field for a comma, and if there is one present copy it across unchanged to the author-sort field when requested to set the author-sort field automatically. If there is no comma behave as now.
That would mean for the vast majority of users who have author as firstname lastname there would be no change, but those who store author as lastname, firstname would get the author sort field set to the same value. Also there would be no need for the environment variable you mentioned.
Also I would ahve thought that Kovid would then be happier with this enhancement as it is all automated and not subject to user error.
