At first glance. However, when adding new books, I have found that the Authors are being sort strangely. Although I have them entered as LN, FN when Sorted they appear as FN, LN. I checked in Edit MetaData and the Author Sort has an extra comma in it.

eg. Author: Painter, Sally in Author Sort: Sally, Painter,

It then is Sorted in the S's for Sally not the P's for Painter.
Help.
The Extra comma is the clue.
Your tweak is set to Invert (default), not Copy

Once that is done.
