Author problems

[Salvodif]

Hi,

I need a help, I've authors like:

(name) Joseph (surname) Piper
(name) Joseph (surname) Di Piper
(name) Joseph (second name) Francisco (surname) Di Piper
(name) Joseph (second name) Francisco (surname) Di Piper (second surname) Mac Donald

I would like to have these authors grouped by surname in this way when I click on the Authors I can easily found them.

Is that possibile?

If yes, how?

Thank you

This may help:

You can override the Author sort string in Manage Authors, you can access that feature by right clicking Author name in the Book details pane on the right, or add the Manage categories tool to a menu or toolbar.

I would work with aliases and real names and a group search

A Custom Column (Authors type) AND
Preferences Searching:Grouped Searches

I started with this when the Cover Named Author was really a Pen Name.
But I later used it for the list of Authors in Anthologies (when the list is >3)
I usually, the place the Editors name in the real Authors: Foo (ed)
