Author sort

$

With the calibre Kobo utilities plugin, I make sure the device database contains the author_sort field from calibre. When I browse the on-device library, the authors are displayed as "LastName, FirstName". But if I sort by author I get that:

Dickens, Charles is sorted by D, OK
Pérez Galdós, Benito is sorted by G, wrong!

It looks like the device is computing the equivalent to author_sort itself, and maybe considering the comma as an indicator of multiple authors, and therefore stopping before that.

Am I right? Can anything be done to have display and sort order agree? Has this "bug" been reported already?
