I would have expected this if I hit the same sort choice twice in a row, but didn't expect it to switch if there was a different sort chosen in between.

It does the same thing in the current version on my phone. So do I count as one of the 50% of phone users since I have it on both phone and tablet?
Re phone users: yes. We can get statistics of installed devices. That statistic doesn't take into consideration who owns the device or how many devices a user owns.

I should also point out that the statistic really looks more like 35% are tablets, with 22% being original N7s. We don't know what is buried in the 50% "Other", so I made the arbitrary assumption that almost half of the "other" were tablets. I am probably wildly overstating the case, but who knows?

The statistics we can see are:
Code:
Google Nexus 7 (grouper)				21.64%
Samsung Galaxy Tab II 7.0 (espressowifi)		3.80%
Samsung Galaxy Tab II 10.1 (espresso10wifi)		3.59%
Samsung Galaxy S III (m0)				2.91%
Google Nexus 4 (mako)					2.32%
Google Nexus 10 (manta)					2.07%
Asus TF700T (TF700T)					2.02%
Barnes and Noble NOOKŪ HD+ (ovation)			2.02%
Samsung Galaxy S II (GT-I9100)				1.84%
Others							57.79%
Re the sort: I don't see unexpected behavior. For example, I sort by title, see title ascending (expected) then I group by series. I see the series by title. I then sort by date(calibre) I see the books in descending date order, expected because all the dates sort descending by default. I then sort by series, and see the books in ascending series index order. I then sort by date(calibre) and I see the list again in descending date order. With these steps do you see something different?
