It doesn't work this way for me for books sent by calibre to my Libra 2. I have lots of books with multiple authors where my L2 shows the book under each author. For example, a book with 2 authors shows both authors in the book details window, and in the authors list both authors for the book appear under each author.
IIRC getting this behavior required using a metadata plugboard for the kobo (kobotouch) that changes the way authors are formatted. All of my authors are in "LN, FN & LN2, FN2" format. The plugboard changes them to "FN LN, FN2 LN2". Here is the plugboard and the template I use in the plugboard.
Code:
program:
comma = '';
res = '';
for author in $authors separator '&':
res = strcat(res, comma, swap_around_comma(author));
comma = ', '
rof;
res
