I would like to see my authors listed like

Bacigalupi, Paolo
Baldacci, Brad
Meltzer, Brad

WITHOUT writing it like this into the author field. A person is normally named FN LN.
Hello, I am firstname lastname. You don't say "hello, I am lastname comma firstname"

Hence it should be natural to enter an author's name in a natural way.
But when viewing the list I'd like to be able to chose if I want to see it in one way or the other.

I realize it is possible to solve the issue of author sorting by messing with the way I enter a name - but I don't want to

But back to the original question, my question : Does anyone else agree that there should be a way to handle "secondary" sorting?
