The error is more of a warning to say the sort is not what calibre is expecting.
If you want to use that method or sorting for all authors/books, then you need to change the defaults , see https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...70&postcount=3 And if you want to control how the titles are sorted, see https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...41&postcount=3 |

I changed 'author_sort_copy_method' value from 'comma' to 'copy' but it still won't sort authors by first name and still showing the error.

The sort you see are EXISTING sorts. One of the reasons to not do the immediate change is some of those may have 'corrected' data (names that do not fit the general rules). After you make the change: Right click any Autor in the Tag Browser: Manage Authors: Recalculate all author sort values (a Button at the bottom) in your case the Copy button might do |

Kovid
as someone who does not keep the Tab Browse active. Could you add Manage to the Column header Context menus where appropriate? |

IIRC manage is available in the book details context menu already, assuming you keep that open.
