I assume that the examples given above would also cover the case where the

Yes, config file just says "creator name" (not author; not personal name). Internally the code knows what to do.
I think
there are two possibilities for handling this and I am not sure which route
you have chosen to follow:
1. Use the organisation (or an abbreviation) as the creator name and sort as
normal.
That's how it works.
2. Leave the creator name blank in which case the sort algorithm will have
to recognise the material type and if necessary use the organisation as the
primary sort key (and of course for display in the citation).
I think you're "preferable" option is more complicated than it needs to be.
One of the ways I decoupled name handling from reference type details is to use the generic creator and to separately handle role (author, editor, etc.). It simplifies things a fair bit, while making them more flexible too.
