This is by design, he contributed to a Series that has multiple authors so for the Authors in this series I use an author_sort value of Various. This keeps the series in order in the library view.

Using Inconsistent Author Sort values for Author 'Dan Abnett' is a feature of calibre not a bug. I am curious, is this an insurmountable obstacle that can't be handled in the catalog generation code? Or is there a way to overcome this in settings that I have missed or overlooked?

If there is no work around and the code doesn't allow for my situation then I'll either conform or do without the catalog. Either way life goes on.

Have a great day.
I saw this in .44, I found that my Sort was not to my standards
so I did not comment.

What I found was Inconsistent with the Author sort in the Tag editor for a single name.
AFAIK, Metadata A-S must be a consistent super-set of the Tag-edit A-S.
