Calibre Prefs > Metadata plugboards > Add new plugboard

Then fill in 4 columns:
Format: any format
Device: KOBOTOUCH
Source template: program: raw_list('authors', ', ')
Destination field: Authors
Press [Save plugboard] button
Press [Apply] button

You may need to Restart calibre afterwards, but next time you connect the Kobo to calibre all the Author data in the Kobo database should auto-magically be adjusted according to the new KOBOTOUCH/Authors plugboard.
I've been using this for some time. I am now noticing that the MyBooks>Authors list on the Kobo uses the last name of the second author for alphabetical placement in the list. Is there a way to force it to use the last name of the first author? Or is that controlled elsewhere?

I'm not sure if it was always this way or if something changed.
