The attempt to support newer firmware pop up didn't appear initially & when I went into Configure the Kobotouch extended plugin to find the option I must have messed something else up.
Am now confusing myself about what options should be ticked. I don't recall making any changes to the defaults other than adding the collection columns (which are displaying correctly) during the original set up.

Using Send to Disc to transfer books over. Never download books direct from Kobo. Books sent as Kpub converted from epubs

Calibre set up
Author Sort = Aaronovitch, Ben
Author = Ben Aaronovitch

Libra
Appears in my books as

Rivers of London
Aaronovitch, Ben

Under Authors both Ben & Aaronvitch are listed separately.
There is nothing in the driver that directly affects the metadata like that. The metadata options are for whether to update the metadata on the device when it is connected. When that is done, and when the books is first sent, the metadata plugboards are used to tweak the metadata. From what you are seeing, I think you have a metadata plugboard that set the author to the author_sort. You can find these in the calibre Preferences on the "Metadata plugboards" page. Remove or change the plugboard for either the device of format. Or, use the following for setting the author:

Code:
program: raw_list('authors', ', ')
That will setup multiple authors so that the device will recognise them properly.
