Yes, the author sort field gets populated automatically when you set the author.

You don't need my patch if you want to start doing this straight away to replace your "separate lists". In the Add dropdown at the top is an "Add Empty Book" menu option. My proposed changes just remove some of the additional clicks and typing associated with using the feature.

I then (manually) add the "Wishlist" tag because it ties into some functionality in the catalogs feature apparently mentioned in the stickies for the forum above (though not something I have tried yet).
