Many thanks.
You can set the Save pattern to any thing you want. Just go to the Add/Save section in Preferences and select the Save tab. This will show you all the tags yor can use to set the file structure.

Like you, I prefer the Last, First format, often I don't remember the first name. This is what I use :
{author_sort}/{series}/{series_index:0>2s} - {title}

and this is what I get :
L:/My Library/eBooks/Calibre/Steele, Allen/Near-Space/02 - Clarke County, Space
