sorting on creator column doesn't work for edited books

Hi, I'm using zotero 5.0.81 on mac os 10.14.6. Sorting on the 'creator' column in the middle list panel isn't working. It works properly for almost all entries, but fails for all and only books with editors as the creators, which appear at the bottom of the list ordered by date. I suppose this means that the editor field is still not getting registered properly as a creator, since my secondary sort field is date. This seems to suggest that the problem is not in fact entirely fixed in 5.0.81 (as the discussion in https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/80462/editor-not-showing-as-creator suggested). To be clear: in the items in the middle pane that are not properly sorted, the editor does show up as the creator in the creator-column in the middle pane, i.e., those column entries are not blank. 5.0.81 did apparently fix that part of the problem.

I previously posed this query at the end of the thread https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/80462/editor-not-showing-as-creator, but no one replied to it, so I am starting a new discussion

Any help or direction you can give will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
