After the restart, right click on the "Authors" in the Tag browser and select Manage authors then click on Recalculate all author sort values (it will take a little while).
Alternatively and as I said in post 4, make a custom column "Built from other columns" (not like tags) with the template {authors}. This will sort by what you see, not author sort. As a side benefit it preserves the existing author_sort values.
