I still don't understand why the problem would emerge only after a reset and a kobo desktop firmware downloading, while it worked fine with the sideloaded version.
What do people whith no computer savvy nor the expert help to be found here, particularly yours and a few others (or the time to invest in it) do?

Yes, that is a problem. Their only options are to accept it or search and find these discussions. Or go and buy a different ereader.

Absolutely!!!
However, I've just bought an Aura HD and,
from the outset, I've been unable to sort the collections into any order at all because there's no menu showing in the top left-hand side of the Collections view, so this information is invaluable.
Initially, thought that I'd made a huge mistake in buying this device because I'd be unable to use
Bookshelves/Collections sort my books into an accessible order.
How many other people have felt that disappointment I wonder?
It's a real shame that this fantastic reader is still marred by such a minor mistake as a missing line of code because Kobo haven't immediately addressed this issue.
I'm very grateful to have come across this forum and its contributors.

It seems that: -
LastLibrarySorter_shelfList_=sortByShelfName()
should go between lines 12 and 13 (in this example) - in other words, between: -
LastLibrarySorter_books_filterByPreviews%28%29=sor tByNewest()
and
LastLibrarySorter_shelf_filterByBookshelf%28Gemmel l%29=sortByNewest()
I've added it there and I now have a menu allowing me to sort my Collections
but is that the correct placement or have I now possibly caused a problem elsewhere?
again.
