Author1 - Q Series
Author1 & Author2 - A Series (02) - title
Author1 & Author3 - A Series (04) - title
My question / wish is that there was a way to use the tweak:
'author_sort_copy_method' to only copy the first author from 'author' to author_sort, whatever how many authors it actually contains. (using the & as a breaker).
No there is no current tweak just to copy the first author to author sort. Go to the tag browser and right click on authors and select manage authors and fix the author sort manually.

There are some series that have so many authors I just enter various under author sort to keep the series together.
