@JollyRoger - there is no point in coming on here and sighing. Calibre has done exactly what you asked it to do - *you* specified multiple authors for that book, *you* specified the author sort column to create collections on, and so calibre followed your instructions and did exactly that. As I have said multiple times in this thread you can edit the author sort field for that book on the edit metadata screen to remove those extra authors, so as to allow displaying multiple authors in the calibre view, while having just a single author for a collection on the Kindle.

And as I have also said before if you instead want collaborations to be treated as individual author collections on the Kindle so you don't have to edit, then go knock on meme's door in the Kindle Collections plugin thread and request it as a feature. Ask nicely and I'm sure he would at least respond to the idea as to whether he wants to implement it or not.
