when you have the library folder open in explorer - just tab into the list of folders (if you're not there already) type the name of the author you're looking for - eg type 'jane' and explorer will locate and select first 'jane' - eg Jane Abernathy

if folders are LN FN, type 'aber' and Abernathy Jane will be there, now type 'row' and Rowling J.K. will be thereabouts.

pretty sure that works in finder and nautilus toof
Typing the first letter of a file/folder name works on XP (and before ), type it again and in moves to the next occurrence
XP(pro only?) also has 'Show in Groups' as part of View: Arrange Icons By:
