I have categories in my Author list i.e.

Tony Abbot & Colleen Madden (Illustration)
Alexandre Dumas & Robin Buss (Translation)

Is it is designed to do the Author_Sort ignores the entry in brackets. However, when I Save to Disk I would like the author as author_sort but including the element in brackets. I have looked through the manual and many entries in the Forum and haven't found an easy way of doing this. If I was using C or other programming language I would just split the author field into words and iterate through each entry. In Calibres template languages I don't know how to do this.

I cannot just use author_sort and the last word in author if it is in brackets because there may be more than one author entry in brackets.

If anyone has a way of doing this, or a better way of tracking Illustrators, Editors, Translators etc. I would like to hear from you.

Thank you
