Post Author's nationality in Calibre / Keep info between brackets in Author sort

I like Swedish authors very much. Therefor I would like to add the author's nationality in one way or another.
Now I chose to add _SWE to the author's last name but I would prefer another solution.
I tried to put the nationality between brackets, but then it disappears in the author sort. Is there a way to prevent this?

Yes, but that would mean I have to enter the nationality at book level iso author level...
