    <dc:creator opf:role="aut">Dave Freer</dc:creator>
    <dc:creator opf:role="aut">Mercedes Lackey</dc:creator>
However, I'm not sure if that will show all the authors on a Kobo.
Kobo only uses the first dc:creator it finds. And, it assumes the authors are "FN1 LN1, FN2 LN2".

@Lebowsky: Sorting is multiple levels:
  • Author: author (LN, FN) then title
  • Title: title then author (LN, FN)
  • Series: series name, series index, title

The other sorts should be by whatever they say and then title.
