Titles by dual Authors, Sort doesn't like.

Hi all,

A couple of my 'Doctor Who' Target novels, which were written by Pip and Jane Baker are causing some issues with Author Sort.

If I have 'Author(s)' as Pip & Jane Baker, I get Author Sort field of Baker, Pip and Jane - but field remains Red (I'm assuming it doesn't like the ampersand).

If I change the 'Author(s)' to Pip and Jane Baker, Author Sort lists as Pip & Baker, Jane - although field now Green.

Any ideas or solutions (will the Red field cause issues when I transfer books onto my Kindle)?

Your help / feedback is always appreciated.
