KA1 crazy sort order for Author

Hi

I'm in the mood to read some Stephen King, so I've put some of his books on my reader. To be able to see series, I have Calibre append the series at the end of the author's name, like so:

Lastname, Firstname - Series name 01.

(Author name and author sort are both set as "Lastname, Firstname".)

However, the KA1 sorts like this, when choosing "Sort by Author":

King, Stephen - Bill Hodges 01
King, Stephen - The Dark Tower 01
King, Stephen - The Shining 01
King, Stephen - Bill Hodges 02
King, Stephen - The Dark Tower 02
King, Stephen - The Shining 02

What the hell... That's not the right sort order. (I also noticed that the KA1 refuses to display () in the author's name, for example.)

Any insights?

I've been used to using the author name space for series, so I can sort on author and series at the same time on the Kindle, and I'd like to do the same on the KA1.
