Chaley has since introduced a change in calibre source that does a similar thing, so when I get time to look at the code I might remove this.

In the mean time, to get around this, the solution is to change the author string by adding an action that adds a "temporary" to the author list, and then sort and remove the temporary string in the next action.

Attached is a chain that does what I describe above.
I appreciate your help. That resolved it.
