not only...but also 部分倒装疑问

The new employee soon proved that he was capable and that he could be trusted.

=(a) The new employee soon proved NOT ONLY that he was capable, BUT ALSO that he could be trusted.

=(b) The new employee soon proved that NOT ONLY was he capable, BUT ALSO that he could be trusted.

为什么(a)句不需要倒装，而(b)句必须倒装呢？

这很简单，not only前置于主语前才导致部分倒装。如果not only位于that之前，则not only就不属于that从句的结构，所以that从句不倒装。如果not only位于that之后，则是that从句结构的一部分，前置于从句主语之前，必然导致that从句部分倒装。

至于not only位于that从句中，和后面的but also不对称，违反了平行原则，那是另当别论的，这里就不讨论了。
