Yes, for the author sort in the books list. No, for the authors list.

Using a no-break space (U+00A0) instead of an ordinary space between "le" and "Carré" will give the correct(*) author sort in the books list, but it won't affect the sort in the authors list.

(Edit: Just to note, using a no-break space doesn't interfere with searching at all, you can still type an ordinary space into the search bar and it will list matches with a no-break space.)

(* Edit2: Perhaps John le Carré should be sorted under C for Carré, since the "le" is lowercase. But it is a made-up name, the normal rules might not apply. The publisher has him listed under L though.)
