My first attempt was to introduce the author as "Asimov, Isaac" but Calibre understands that there are two different authors called "Asimov" and "Isaac" respectively.
The second attempt was to introduce "Isaac Asimov". The name in correctly identified and the Author sort shows "Asimov, Isaac" as I wanted. But sadly the information of the authors that is normally showed is that of the Authors name and not the Authors sort, so I have the collection ordered by name and not by surname as I wanted.
The final solution is a not very elegant fix, I put as the name "Asimov Isaac" and fixed the author sort manually.
So my main question is... Is it possible to show the author sort column in the main table of calibre instead of the author name? is it any strategy to sort authors by surname different from the one I had chosen.
Regards...

That is what "Author sort" does
Enter "Isaac Asimov" as Author
Click the button next to the Author sort field in the Meta data Browser.
Save
When you sort the Library by the Author column,
Isaac Asimov will be in the proper place in the "A"'s, not in the "I"'s
