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.

Thank you.
Removing the metadata plugboard has done the trick & sorted the author problem.
Not sure what happened as the last time I went into that section of calibre was when I changed the metadata plugboard to work with a Kobo instead of my Sony. Will set up a new one at the weekend when I have more time.

Thanks again for the help tis much appreciated.
