Kovid,

Can you work on the export to CSV? I've tried several of the latest versions (.20 now on .24, I think) and they all skip the title and title_sort, naming the author field as "author_sort" when imported into a spreadsheet (I can't see anything before "author_sort" in notepad. The title is never exported in the body, either.

I need a searchable format that I can easily use with one line/book - CSV would be ideal, as I can read it in notepad, a spreadsheet, create a PDF, etc, but I can't get it to work. I thought I might be able to get around with with XML, opening in a browser and creating a PDF (not ideal, but doable), but all it does is open a notepad like view of it - can't get it into Open Office calc, either (just write, which is beyond useless).

As a possible future improvement - I'd love to be able to drag the fields around and have them create the file in the order I want, rather than the order listed in the database file.
