output same author, several books

For the time being I'm getting this:
(Burr, 2010), (Burr 2015).
I'd like to get this:
(Burr 2010, 2015).
And: When referring to Burr several times, I always get (Burr 2015). I'd like to get (op cit) or something like it sub sequentially.
I can't find the solution for that, and I'm a bit afraid of the FUBAR-effect. Any help would be appreciated.

I have changed settings to "Use year-only for repeated authors" and "For repeated citations use ibid.", but it doesn't make any difference.

If you want two references in the same citation, you must group them in the same citation yourself. The best way to do that is like this:
{temp cite1; temp cite2; etc.}
Now you'll get all the references in one citation group.
As for Op Cit, Ibid., etc., you'd have to switch to using a custom citation where you tell Bookends exactly what you want, not an author-date citation, which is what you're using now.
Please read the user guide (Help menu) section on scanning, especially on how in-text citations are handled.

It seemed - at least right now - that even {Burr, 1995, #47331} {Burr, 2015, #50981} instead of {Burr, 1995, #47331}, {Burr, 2015, #50981} did the trick. I got (Burr 1995, 2015). As for the ibid., I am working on it.
Thank you for your help. And an apology: despite the manual clarifying a lot, I often don't know where too look or what to look out for. But I'm working on that, too.
