When using the authors filter, the filter uses the last name and if authors have the same last name, only the first author is shown. For example if there are three authors:
Smith, Kelly (cid: 123)
Smith, John (cid: 225)
Smith, David (cid: 23)

The only author that will be shown is Smith, D. Propose that the cid is used instead of last name, that way all authors are shown.

I don't see any problem with that, it definitely makes more sense than the existing code. I'd say it should have been that way all along.
