Sorting authors list and using Cyrillic names

Hi!

Can the list of authors be divided into multiple sections so they do not load all at once but only a part of them, and rest only after clicking on a letter, or Next?

And, it would be good if the authors list could be sorted by their last names, not the first names.

Also, most of our authors are with Cyrillic script, and none of them are sorted by the letters. Also, those in Latin script are sorted and above those in Cyrillic and I need those in Cyrillic to be above the other, as most of them are in Cyrillic.

Regards
