@orlok - Yes it is one of those irritating usability choices you need to make as a Kindle user. If you only ever look at one book at a time and don't for instance ever offer it to others to show off to or play with (where they randomly open books to admire your collection) or open other books for various other reasons, then that is the simplest approach to take. Can be a pain to then find an author though if your sort order has got mixed up, at least without running meme's plugin again.
If however you aren't happy with the limitations of that, then what you can do as an alternative is make a special collection to put the book you are currently reading in that sorts above all the rest (in my case I call it ~Reading~). Then when I start genuinely reading a book I put it in that collection. So no matter what "fiddling" I do on my Kindle, I know my reading book is always in the first collection shown, and all my author collections are preserved alphabetically afterwards. You just need to remember to add/remove a book to this collection when you start/finish it, and make sure in meme's plugin configuration that you put your "~Reading~" or whatever collection in the list of collections it does not alter.
