I just registered to add my voice to this issue.

Selecting the "Set author_sort as author" (paraphrased) option and then re-sending my books to the Kindle (despite not being converted -- maybe that option documentation should change) does fix the sorting. However, the Kindle struggles on multiple authors separated by an ampersand as described above.

For example, if

author -> "J. R. R. Tolkien & Christopher Tolkien"
author_sort -> "Tolkien, J. R. R. & Tolkien, Christopher"

and the option is ticked for using author_sort for author on Mobi formats,
then on the Kindle it is displayed as:

"J. R. R. & Tolkien, Christopher Tolkien"

Any suggestions or advice?
