MOBI/AZW3 does not support author, only author_sort. The Kindle automatically swaps the author around the comma for display purposes, and sorts off the invisible, stored value.

If you are going to add extra content to the author(_sort) field, you need to change MOBI output to not use author_sort for author.
Books wll be sorted by author first name.
