Calibre dropping 2nd name when there are multiple authors

Didn't know coronavirus effected people's comprehension - maybe I'll report to the WHO Ψ³

I'd say your own comprehension was going here Red It's been stated that azw3 CAN'T be emailed.

Or, alternatively, I needed someone to point me to the place in preference where I could figure it out.

Thankfully in post #62 DNSB told me where to look.

Do you understand your question was literally impossible for me to answer unless someone told me where to look? In other words, do you understand that before post #62 your question was unanswerable?

Perhaps I'm reading the tone of your message wrong, but it comes across as condescending, like I'm some sort of idiot for not answering your question. Which would be ironic.

It was a note of IRONY directed at bookstooge - nothing to do with you. If he's offended I am sure he can speak for himself.

As I wrote back in post 30 I know diddlysquat - but you will also see that, until now, none of the other responders, including yourself, had the courtesy to respond to my proposition that the OP might be better of using AZW3.

I responded multiple times that AWZ3 can't be emailed.

Save to disk does not have the use Author Sort feature.
Note: this jams the metadata into the book. Kindles do not use filenames for metadata

Not sure what you mean about save to disk? You can't use author_sort in the save to disk template? That save to disk does not place the author_sort in the ebook metadata? Well, at least for epub and azw3, it seems to.

    <dc:creator opf:role="aut" opf:file-as="Norton, Andre &amp; Lackey, Mercedes">Andre Norton</dc:creator>
    <dc:creator opf:role="aut">Mercedes Lackey</dc:creator>

The results in the attached image were from using this save to disk template:

{author_sort}/{title}/{author_sort} - {series:| |}{series_index:0>5.2f| | - }{title}

My normal template for save to disk truncates the author_sort to the first author for both directory and filename:

{author_sort:sublist(0,1,&)}/{title}/{author_sort:sublist(0,1,&)} - {series:| |}{series_index:0>5.2f| | - }{title}
