When you sort by author, you are really sorting by author_sort. As far as I have seen in the code, calibre never sorts by author.

Or perhaps a button like the one in bulk edit to swap author and title, to swap author and author_sort. That would make my life with my PRS-505 a lot easier, too, since it doesn't respect author_sort.
I think you want a button to copy author_sort to author. Exchanging them would lead to chaos, because lists would start sorting by first name.

To the OP: calibre remembers the last sort. Unfortunately for your scenario, it doesn't remember the last sequence of sorts.
