I don't think there is anything that sorts the authors for a single book, they retain the sequence in which they are entered.

Assuming you mean the 'author' folders in the library, these folders are place holders to keep books with the same title apart. If a book has multiple authors, then assuming it doesn't already exist, a single 'author' folder is a created for the first author only.

Calibre is primarily a database application. The author and title folders only purpose is to provide the storage for the cover, the format files (EPUB, PDF, MOBI etc), and a file that can be used to rebuild the library database.
