regular expressions use to save to a device with : "author (Surname Name) - title"

I had to format my Mac and now I lost all Calibre's settings.
I need some help to know which regular expressions use to save to a device with : "author (Surname Name) - title"
what I don't want is Calibre to put in the sort field Author, Surname and Name separated by a comma and in the Title sort field, the article at the end with a leading-in comma.
Now, in both cases (disk / device) I put the regular expression {author_sort} - {title} but title goes always at the end and surname in separated from name by a comma.

to make it clear, for the file "Oscar Wilde - The picture of Dorian Gray", metadata are :

Title is : The picture of Dorian Gray
what I get now is : Picture of Dorian Gray, the
what I would like is : The Picture of Dorian Gray

Author sort field : Oscar Wilde
what I get now is : Wilde, Oscar
what I would like is : Oscar Wilde

thank you !
Anna

For Author dont use use author sort use {authors} that uses the actual author name what you are using is how calibre sorts them in the library.

For the title change go to tweaks their should be an option to change title and series for temaplates
