Apologies for bumping this very old thread. Just an FYI that this is still
an issue on DSpace 6.3 and DSpace 7.1-SNAPSHOT. It is not possible to
remove duplicates from multi-value fields using the CSV bulkedit metadata
importer.
I've filed an issue on GitHub:
It's very likely that multiple values in a single field are being
compared as an unordered set rather than an ordered list.
Try doing it in two imports. In first import, remove all authors. In
second import, add them in the new order.

Hi, I think that could be the problem.
I did something similar with the header that worked:
id, collection, dc.contributor.author,
dc.contributor.author[]
"id_x", "collection_y", "author2::longid2::300||author1::longid1::300",
Please note the final comma.
Thank
