I've recently started keeping my large collection of RPG PDFs in Calibre, and went through the work of tagging it properly and setting the metadata (this took a while).

One problem I've run into involves the author sort. In order to keep it sensible, I've set the author sort of all these books to be the publisher name. In one case, the publisher is "Rowan, Rook, & Decard". Whether I use an ampersand or an "and", Calibre sorts these books as being by three authors named "Rowan", "Rook", and "Decard".

Is there a way around this behavior?
