chaley thank you for your response. when I used your program I got the error:

EXCEPTION: Formatter: unknown function author_links near author_links

What I want is so simple. I have over 500 authors. I want to be able to divide them into 4 or 5 categories and have a column that shows what category they are in without having to manually add every book.

eg. every time I add a John Grisham boom the column should automatically say "ReadList". Jodi Picoult "MyAuthors". Ann Rice "MyAuthors". The first time I add a new author I will assign it but after that it should be automatic.

So whether it is putting the Category in the Manage Authors Links column:

Author: John Grisham
Author Sort: Grisham, John
Link: ReadList

Author: Jodi Picoult
Author Sort: Picoult, Jodi
Link: MyAuthors

And then a column made from other columns that shows the Link column

or

The User Category plugin that I can add the Authors to and then have a column that will show the User Category that the author belongs to.

or something else entirely.

Please there has to be a way. Help

Thanks
