Or, what if there were two by Smith, John and one by Smith, John & Smith, Jane (or two by the pair and one solo) would the extra book still find its way into the collection?
Just trying to figure out if this will work the way I want it to.  |
Hmm, haven't tested that edge case but since minimum checks are done near the end after all the collections are known, my guess is that it will know there are 2 books by Smith, John and therefore create the collection.
Using the split character of & with author sort is telling the plugin to treat each author's name separately so it will add 1 book to each author's collection for the authors listed for the books. Without the split it will treat all the authors as just 1 long name and create just 1 collection.
