Kovid answered the main question. It seems that the Sony gathers the info from the Author metadata for the Books by Author lists.

But if sorting via author last name is your preferred method then since you have PRS+ installed it is easy to do. You can browse by folder and all of the //database/media/books/ book folders are listed by the author's last name first followed by the first name.

Not quite what you were looking for but there non the less.
