Adding other sort options is a good idea. I did start working on extending the function to allow other choices of shelves. "Author" shelves was the first extra option. And then allowing different sorts such as publishing date. Setting the other orders as the selected sort in the config file would be useful. It will get done, I'm just not sure when

In the meantime, in case you need to do this again, edit the config file and look for lines that look like:
Code:
LastLibrarySorter_shelf_filterByBookshelf%28Ender%27s%20Game%29=sortByDateAddedToShelf()
The bit between the "%28" and "%29" is the URL encoded shelf name. If you remove the line, it will use the default sort. The value on the right is the name of the sort function used. You can change it to one of:
  • sortByNewest() - This is "Recently Read"
  • sortByTitle()
  • sortByAuthor()
  • sortBySize()
  • sortByFileType()
  • sortByDateAddedToShelf()
A fair time ago I tried changing the sortby options to sortByAuthor.
First off it didn't seem to work. Sometimes it would get overwritten and sometimes not. But even when not overwritten it didn't seem to work.

I would have [Sort] IIRC where the usual sort by was displayed and the tiles on the home screen would move around in a random way every time I powered on. Once I even had no tile for the current book.

My question is does changing it actually work now?
