Wrong author sort for brother authors
Hi there,

Apparently, in Calibre 3.45.2, using the default author sort (no preference or tweaks modified) when there are multiple authors sharing the same surname (e.g. brother authors), the author sort is wrong.
For example:
Arkadi & Boris Strugatki -> Arkadi & Strugatki, Boris

Expected: Strugatki, Arkadi & Boris
or maybe: Strugatki, Arkadi & Strugatki, Boris

Does anyone know a workaround? Thanks!

P.S. - could this tweak be used?
# Splitting multiple author names
authors_split_regex = u'(?i),?\\s+(and|with)\\s+'
