Sorting a bibliography by creator's name doesn't include collection-editor
"collection-editor" totally is one of the document's creators. But even placing them as first in the creator's list in the document's metadata, their name aren't considered when sorting my bibliography by creator's name. Only authors are taken into account. I believe this is a mistake : if I'm including this person among the creators, Zotero should definitely consider their name among the alphabetical sorting.

Look at this panel. It's a list of books, sorted alphabetically with authors name.
On the book I've selected, "collection-editor" is Christian Larroumet, and "author" is Sarah Bros. Larroumet is placed first among the creators, and it's his name that should be the sorting key.
I don't believe there is a behaviour that sorts alphabetically among creators : on other books, the creator's name that is used to sort is the one placed first in the right panel.
That's preferable for most people (e.g., you don't have to fiddle with the order of editors and authors for a book chapter), but I'm sure there are scenarios where it doesn't work for someone. I'd assume that's going to continue to work like that.
In addition, the Creator column is limited to just Authors (and equivalent like director and performer) and Editors -- i.e. you would never see a series editor in there.
That's a judgment call by Zotero devs with the logic, I'm assuming, that people very rarely cite works by any other creator category so it'd be odd to have them pop up there, but it probably wouldn't be very disruptive to have other creators show up there if you want to make the case (I believe people have asked about composer, e.g.)
