Is there a way to either:
1) Have the plugin create a collection based on the tag if it exists, and Author_sort if there is no tag, or
2) Have the plugin read the whole tag field as a single tag, even if it contains a comma, or
3) Create a custom column in Calibre that will insert the tag if it exists, or the Author_sort if no tag exists?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I figured out a way to do this if anyone is interested. I used the "Tag" field for the collection name, putting the authors name (lastname, firstname), or a different collection name like "SS" for short stories. I created a "Custom Column" in Calibre using the "Tag" field. So now my custom column contains the same information as the "Tag" field. This shows as a single entry, so when the plugin creates the collection the comma in the authors name doesn't cause multiple collections to be created.
Edit: That doesn't work either. Calibre alphabatizes the tag! So, it works for Adams, Doug but Ball, Alan gets changed to Alan, Ball.
Anyone out there have any ideas/thought/comments/suggestions?
