author: Isaac Asimov (ed.)
author sort: Asimov, Isaac

I'm surprised they're not sorted as dictated by the sort string. Instead, the Kobo software appears to see that "(ed.)" in the name of the author and pushes the books to the top.
I remember it also doing something silly like that when there's something like Jr. at the end. In your case you could use the Apprentice Alf DeDrm plugin to remove the drm and then edit the book's metadata (with Calibre or Sigil) to get rid of that (ed.).
