For example:

title: 100 Great Science Fiction Short Short Stories
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.
My understanding is that the Kobo readers do not have an "author sort" field.
