I think publishers should take care of this issue first and there is not much to blame any device manufacturers. Just a thought.
The problem is not what you say it is. The problem is that there is no way to have collections with separate series from the authors. You need directories for that. Then you can have say Series/Authors and then you can have the author's name as you want when you create the directory. So if you want last name, first name you can.
