More than one author....

Hi guys/girls,
is there a possibility to recognize automatically in calibre more than one author of a book or the authors have to be added manually?
Best regards

I could be wrong, but yes, if the authors are in the metadata. The same as one author is recognized automatically. If adding a second author manually place a & between the authors names.

authors with complicated name structures should not be allowed to write collaborative books :-)

having to cope with A. Doc. Hyphenated-Smith Jnr and Davy Jones III in the same author field asks a lot of any program

You need to Fix these in 2 places (and 2 metadata edit sessions)
1) enter the Author names separated by the ampersand. save
2) open the tag editor to the author(s) name(s). Right click, 'Edit sort for...' fix
2b) repeat for othe authors as needed,
3) Edit the metadata for the book (again), click the Author sort button. save
