Wrong author sorting order

Hello to all,
I'm running 4.2 on a 622 and I can't have the library sorted by author in correct order.

Precisely, when I select "group by author" and "sort by author", the top of the screen presents a sub-selection "All | A B C D…" for authors last name and, under that, it shows the names of the authors. But the sorting order is quite strange :
- when I ask for "All", I have all names sorted by FN LN (fisrt name, last name), no matter the first letter of LN,
- when I ask for "B", I have the names sorted by FN LN but limited to LN beginning with a "B".

Examples:
all -> Adolpho Bioy Casares, Alain Guyard, Alexandra David-Neel…
B -> Antoine Bello, Edward Bernays, Edward Bunker, Etienne de la Boetie…

I use Calibre to manage my library on my computer and to download the books to the Pocketbook. I use "author" and "author_sort" correctly… at least, I hope! I have phoned today to Pocketbook help and the answer is: there's nothing to do, nor to hope for. That's frustrating!

Of course, I know the trick: to send the data with a specific format, "{author_sort}/{series}/{series_index:0>2s} {title}" for instance, and to use the Pocketbook with it's library ordered by folder. It works perfectly. But I'd still like to use author sorting order.

Does anyone know a solution for this? I've tried to play with "author_sort" on Calibre, to use another sorting order, to impose it to the Pocketbook, but without success. I'm out of ideas, and Google was no help.

Thanks.
