Thanks Chaley, I would suggest selecting a group and seeing all books rather than the group is unexpected behaviour and counter-intuitive (unlike Calibre which works as you would expect).

Thanks for the long press suggestion which did give me all the manuals, although this again produced non-intuitive results as selecting a different grouping now has no effect and I can no longer see the sub-groups. I eventually realised I had to clear the search before anything else would work, but this wasn't obvious.

I do believe most users would welcome the behaviour more closely matching that of Calibre. 8-)

Any intention to bring User Categories to CC? At first glance anyway, it appears a much simpler method than using Custom Columns for what I believe should be a mainstream feature (sub-grouping) a lot of people would use.

P.S. I'm very impressed with Calibre and it's ability to edit metadata and do other things in bulk (Mantano is laborious by comparison but does have sub-groups). Thanks and keep up the good work.
