This problem arises a second question: where does Calibre takes the fields values from? As I said in the first post. I edited the "Author" field in each epub file to "LN, FN" using Sigil. However, Calibre have two fields, one called "Author(s)", the other called "Author sort". For the books displayed as I want, the two fields have the same value ("LN, FN"). But for the rest, "Author(s)" field is "FN LN", while "Author sort" is "LN, FN". Why is this?
depends on the add books settings
you can use the filename (as set by the template) or read the metadata

Set the Author Sort tweak to "copy"
If you went to a Old time Card Catalog
the Author card was: Weber, David

Calibre sorts that way (Tweak set to invert) but shows David Weber sorted into the W's
George Washington would properly sort BEFORE Weber
