Author(s) vs Author sort

Hi all,
I apologise in advance if this issue has already been raised; I have searched but failed to find and answers.

Since the 0.7 release of Calibre, the content server has started listing books by the value in the 'Author(s)' column rather than the value in 'Author sort'. Prior to this I would have, for example, 'Douglas Adams' as the Author and 'Adams, Douglas' as the Author sort value. All was well and good. When looking for books on the contnet server Douglas Adams would appear right before Robert Adams. Now however Douglas Adams appears in the 'D' list and Robert Adams appears in the 'R' list (along with all the many other Roberts out there).

I started editing the meta data for the books (again) to make both fields 'Adams, Douglas' but that defeats the purpose of having both fields. Having changed the Author(s) value to 'Adams, Douglas' has it listed as such on the content server which seems to conform that the server is looking at the 'Author(s)' rather than the 'Author sort' field.

Is there an easy way to change the behaviour back to the previous way of displaying book when sorted by author?

Thanks in advance,

Robert
