If you set the tweak author_sort_copy_method that tells calibre to not reverse names when computing author_sort (see tweaks.py in your calibre settings directory) and then use the bulk metadata editor to recompute all the author_sort fields, then calibre will do what you ask. When you are done, unset the tweak and recompute the author_sort fields.
Have fun.
