The red indicates that the *book's* author_sort value differs from the set of author_sorts derived from the individual authors.

When you change the tweak, you must also tell calibre to recompute the author_sort values for *each author*. This also is done in the same manage authors dialog.
Bingo, thanks mate - that was the missing step! Sorry had never noticed the author tags on the l/h pane. It was a mish-mash mess so clicked on recalculate and now much hard disk thrashing and wait cursors as it hopefully fixes everything....

Thanks again dude!
