Authors in the tag browser are always sorted by the author's "author_sort" value stored in the authors table. As such, first letter partitioning will also use the same author_sort value.
There is a tweak that changes what is *displayed* in the tag browser, "Use author sort in Tag browser (ID: categories_use_field_for_author_name)". This tweak has no effect on how the list is sorted.
Set which author field to display in the Tag browser (the list of authors, series, publishers etc on the left hand side). The choices are author and author_sort. This tweak affects only what is displayed under the authors category in the Tag browser and Content server. Please note that if you set this to author_sort, it is very possible to see duplicate names in the list because although it is guaranteed that author names are unique, there is no such guarantee for author_sort values. Showing duplicates won't break anything, but it could lead to some confusion. When using 'author_sort', the tooltip will show the author's name.
By default the tag browser displays 'author'.
If you make a custom column as described above then first letter processing would be on the value, giving you what you are asking for.
NB: The 'title' and 'series' columns also use an underlying sort value. In the 'title' case it is 'title_sort'. In the 'series' case it is computed on use with the default being the same processing as 'title'.
