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?
I reviewed the code and realized that the fatal error condition only occurs when generating MOBI catalogs.

The updated behavior will warn of author_sort mismatches when building EPUB catalogs, but continue with the build. MOBI behavior is unchanged - the catalog build aborts when author_sort mismatches are encountered.

I've submitted a patch for the next release.
