Yes, that is how it should be. You can customize these values in various ways:

1) You can reverse the names for index and display purposes by using the tagOptions setting

Artist.reverseName.index.display

This will display the combined Artist entry as

John Smith, Mel Jones

and it will still be sorted under 'S' for Smith

2) You can change the separator between the artist names by using a tagFormat setting. for example, to display the artists as

Smith, John & Jones, Mel

you can use the tagformat setting

Artist.indexFormat={$artist^^^ & }

3) If you don't like having a combined Artist tag entry for both artists, you can replace the Artist index by the All Artists index by removing Artist from indexTags and including the setting 'All Artists:Artist' in indexTags. For example, your indexTags setting could be:

All Artists:Artist, Date, Genre
