Well, it depends on what you want - the more restrictions the more complicated the workaround is. If you just want to update the Author Sort field so there is only ever one author then you don't need a separate short author sort field. Same with series. But some people might want the main author/series fields to contain the 'official' information while still being able to tweak it to how they want it to show up on the Kindle as collection names. (A similar extra column approach can be used to change the author/series information in a title when using a plugboard to set the title of a book on the device).
