Yeah, but for hundreds of papers that would be a pain.

That works. It will require me to manually add a dash in the filename of every file before adding them to library, but I guess would take less time than I've spent on this problem already.

It still bothers me that Calibre seems to understands natively that "et al." (without the dash) is a redundancy when sorting authors. Still, Calibre will not sort my authors that way.
