What I think should happen (or at least be an option) is that when viewing any book list in the "by author" mode, if an author has only one book in the list, that book is displayed, but if the author has multiple books, a folder of the books is displayed that you can select to get a list of just those books by that author. This would make it completely unnecessary to do any grouping or sorting by hand of an author's work, and allow us to use the shelves feature to it's fullest potential without a whole lot of extra effort.
A similar setup for book series would be nice, but even if it is only done by author, as most series have a single author, everything becomes much simpler to manage.
