As I suggested at the end of my last post, this is the problem.
As stated earlier, Kobo is using author names in the format "FN LN". When there are multiple authors, it expects "FN1 LN1, FN2 LN2, FN3 LN3". If the authors are put into the books in any other format, then you won't get the expected results.
And the metadata plugboard I posted won't help you as the author names are not the expected format.
All of this is why people are actively encouraged to keep the author in calibre in "FN LN". The sort author is whatever you need to do the sorting properly. And if you want to display the sort author in the calibre library, you can. There is an option in the preferences or a tweak (I forget which), to do this.
If you are staying with that format for the author, you can come up with a metadata plugboard to solve it. It basically needs to replace the comma and space between the parts of the name with characters that look like commas and a space but don't get treated that way by the device. I'm sure someone has posted something like that before. Searching for it should find it.
