Are there plans to upgrade the author filter in the library? Currently it is sorted my number of resources. That makes it difficult to locate a specific author though it is helpful to see  how many resources a particular author has. I am using favorites for my favorite authors. I can't see a way to sort the authors alphabetically.  Is that possible?

    Yes. Click at the top of the "Author" column in the library.

    Thanks SineNomine. Yes I am aware of that.  I was referring to the author filter. It lists the authors but is sorted by the number of resources each author has. It would be nice to see the authors listed in alphabetical order. This is basically what I am doing with favorites. I am going through my authors and picking my favorite authors in my library and then dragging them to a folder in my favorites.

    The intent is that you will enter the author's name in the search box at the top of the facet list rather than scroll through the list.
