How to sort books by author's last name in iBooks on Mac?

When books have been sorted by the author’s name, why are some shown by their first name, some by their last name and even some authors are shown both ways? When sorted by Authors, why aren’t they sorted using only their last name “first” then by their first name. Examples follows in iBooks on my MAC computer

Book 1 - A.J. West

Book 2 - A. Wendberg

Book 3 - Zach Abrams

Book 4 - Sara Ackerman

Book 5 - Adam Nicholls

and this out of sync sort continues thru out my 650 books I have downloaded.


Is there a way to sort by last name only?
