out of curiosity I scanned by library folders, I was just about to say " you're right" then i spotted a folder called
"Terry Pratchett,Neil Gaiman" containing the book
good omens
that's my only instance, but 1 is all it takes to disprove a theory
i definitely have others which are multiple authors but have a single author filename
i think its because in my counter example the separator is a comma, whereas for others the separator will be an ampersand
so that calibre thinks that the good omens author is one guy with 4 name components, ( filed under T in the alphabetical sort) not 2 authors with 2 each ?
i will try correcting that now...
done, replaced
comma with
& in author, created author sort from author.... book now has 2 authors.... and calibre has refiled it in a folder called terry Pratchett
