Calibre - sort by author last name

Hi, I 'm new to Calibre. I am trying to figure out how to sort my Calibre library by author last name. I have read through the template manual and can't figure it out. I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

By entering the data correctly (and consistently)

Out of the chute, Calibre expects Author to Be entered: Fn Ln (What you see in the List)

In the Metadata there is a field (there is no visible column): Author_Sort
When the field color is Green, The value matches the (various) sorting rules as set in Preferences: Miscellaneous: Tweaks
Author Sort will be used when you click the Authors column heading

Notes:
The Authors section in the Tag Browser follows the Sort Rules (when Alphabetical)

Click Alter Tag Browser: Manage: Authors: allow adjusting all usage of a Author_sort value for a given Author (there are some complex names that need User Help
