Then, all the authors with the same surname (e.g. Brooks, Terry and Brooks, Max) are listed in the same folder (Brooks)...
I alredy tried to delete books from the Aura and to load them again (with Calibre), but nothing changed.

Unfortunately the Authors tab uses a different (cruder) sorting algorithm than is used for sorting by author in the Books tab. The main problem is that in the Authors tab the sort doesn't treat 'and' as a separator, it seems to only allow authors to be separated by commas. That also means that the sort doesn't work properly if you use a comma to seperate the first and last name of an author.
I am hoping they will fix this and make the sorts consistent, but if they don't then I think the only solution will be to change any author names from the following formats:
FN1 LN1 and FN2 LN2 (e.g. Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö)
LN1, FN1 and LN2, FN2 (e.g. Sjöwall, Maj and Wahlöö, Per)
into this single format, which is the only one that works with the Authors tab sort:
FN1 LN1, FN2 LN2 (e.g. Maj Sjöwall, Per Wahlöö)
