sorry for late response.

Subtitle looks good to me. I only wonder why Series is switched on independent whether it is flagged or not on “Metadata, on device & advanced”. So Series are on when subtitle is on. Strange but ok for me.

My initial request is to get authors ordered by first name when I open "My Books - Authors" and similar in collection.

But they are ordered by last name although the naming is proper set.
e.g. Bob Adam would be shown before Alan Bloom when I do not use a trick.

In the past I combined first and last name with ALT160 unbreakable space and therefore Kobo treat this as one name and sorting was perfect for me. While my old GloHD still works the same, my Aura one needs a new trick. I assume that new author view function started to ignore ALT160.

Underscore with help from Chaley (and I will add your "re" as well) works well. Of course I cannot sort by last name anymore and it looks different to before. But that is the price I am willing to pay.
