Once again:

author sort is associated with a book not with an author

Maybe you need an example

The book Nightfall is written by Isaac Asimov and Robert Silverberg

It has (in my library) the author sort value of Asimov, Isaac

Now obviously while asimov, issac is the correct author sort for isaac asimov, it is not for robert silverberg.

0.6 presented authors sorted by last name by using a simple hack that worked for people from some cultures but did not for others. I decided to get rid of that hack.
