Question I Need Help With Author & Title Sort, Please

Hello:

I thought I understood the Author Sort thing but now I am completely confused. I think I need a set of parameters and where they must go. Here's what I want Calibre to do with every book I add to any library:

1. I want Author Name and sort to be based on First Name Last Name, as in Lee Child NOT Child, Lee.
2. I want Titles to sort like The Summer Home, Not Summer Home, The.

If I could configure Calibre Portable (I am using Portable because I keep it with my library on a flash drive and I don't have to try to get multiple Calibres on different machines to look the same!) to read all books that would be such a help.

I write because I just entered a whole folder of books and ALL of them are Last Name, First Name and I really don't want to have to change each one individually - that's the only way I know to do it!

Thanks in advance,

Sparky
