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+'

As others have said '&' is the author separator in the author field, so "Arkadi & Boris Strugatki" is interpreted as two authors, "Arkadi" and "Boris Strugatki".
If the authors ALWAYS write together, you could use "Arkadi and Boris Strugatki" which would sort as "Strugatki, Arkadi and Boris".
But I'd recommend just using "Arkadi Strugatki & Boris Strugatki".
