You can sort (or file) by Series or you can sort by Author, not both.
It only appears to work if they are EXACTLY the same in all instances.
If 1 tiny bit changes, you get a new order/folder for that one

Larry Niven & Greg Benford
Greg Benford & Larry Niven
Larry Niven & Mark O. Martin & Greg Benford

Those are 3 different {Authors} < there is a S for a reason

Spelling matters
Order matters

The whole advantage of Calibre type Management is it does not care that Greg had additional authors in some books. the manager (calibre) can show any book where Greg was listed as AN Author

If you want author info in a series based filing, put it at the end, where it does not mess up the index order (most folk want series listed in ORDER)

Series/index title authors
