You have to email support@goodreads.com with these requests: explain carefully what you need because in my experience I noticed that the support people don't know much about this librarian stuff, unfortunately (I was told I could edit GR Authors profiles myself or I could ask a librarian, while as I said this is not possible...)
Unfortunately, however, even if they fix them you'll see them sort properly on the "My Books" page, but the export file will still be wrong: as of today the export still ignores the new "shelf display name" field for authors: I have asked them to fix this https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
As for the special characters, on the edit page for these authors everything is normal, so this may be related to a recent bug that affects special characters ("&" and such) on the homepage, they are trying to fix it.
