I had seen this during testing, but I had forgotten. In real use, I only sort by Title, Series, Custom Columns, and Dates.
Having said that, I still think under the title makes sense. So its either
Title
Series
Author
Or
Author
Title
Series
By the way, it would be nice to have an option to suppress the Sort key line when doing a sort. I never care what the date is when sorting by date (I just care about the order), and when sorting by a custom column, the information used to create the custom column (title and series) is already there. I wouldn't want the title, series and author suppressed, but definitely the other ones.

I use the cover grid for two things, both aesthetic.
1) I have a tag called _Favorites which contains the 116 books I have loved the most from when I became a reader as a kid to now. I spent a few hours one day going through all of the ebook files and replacing the covers with the version that I had when I read the book. Sometimes I just like to browse through the cover grid. Its a walk down memory lane.
3) Sometimes when I am reading a series with matching covers, I like to see the progression of covers as I finish one book and move to the next one.
But, for choosing the next book to read, its almost exclusively list view.
