This template produces a similar answer as @davidfor's but using a different technique.

Code:

program:
	series = re($series, '\.', '_');
	if series then
		res = '';
		for aut in $author_sort separator '&':
			res = strcat(res, (if res then ',' fi), re(aut, ',', ';'), '.', series)
		rof
	fi

One difference: I prefer a semicolon over an underscore in the authors' names. YMMV.

For these templates to work the destination column must be "built from other columns, behaves like tags" and the lookup key must be added to the hierarchical columns box.
