When a book is already in the library, and I add the same book again, what will happen? I mean, if it has the same title, and just the content has changed. Can I make calibre automatically replace the old version with the new?

I also ask what happens when I import a book with the same title, but different author, already in the library. It just warns me - I hope nothing changes or anything, and when I click OK it's added as I want it to be, right?

And I also have a question about sorting - when I click on a column, it sorts. But there is one exception - the author tab. When I click on the author tab, I expect them to be sorted by author, alphabetically. Calibre does not do this. What is happening? I do not even understand what they are being sorted by! And can I make calibre sort it like that?

Thanks
