Step 3: Set to Sort by popularity (at the bottom)
Expand Authors
and Presto: the Count of Each Author Shows (in descending order)
Well, this won't result in the list I'm asking for.
This will show a list of books in language x.
I do want a list of authors writing in language x (and their books)
so, if I search for authors_language:"=x", I want a, b, c, e, f, g to be returned.

Authors 1 and 3 do write in x.
Books a, b, c, e, f, g are written by 1 and 3.
books b, c and g are not in language x, but while they are written by 1 or 3, I want those books also to be returned...

(this makes it easy for me to, for example assign book g the language x)
This search-function could also return book g:
authors_language:"=x" and language:false

So, seeing the reactions, I think I will have to write an sql-query...
