1. You can sort in either asssending or descending order. There is a toggle beside the search function. Make sure the arrow is pointing up, so that you are sorting in assending order, meaning A-Z.

2. Select the search order, by Title. (A toggle arrow should also now be in the column heading of the Title column and pointing up.

3. Scroll up to make sure you are at the top of the page, it often repositions you away from the first entry.

4. The titles should be in order, but the following exceptions can/will occur.

- Blanks come before numbers or letters
- Numbers come before letters
- Words like "The", "A" or any other unnecessary first word in the title may be ignored.(I believe this may be the reason you think they are out of order)

I hope this is of help. If not please respond with an example of titles that are out of order so that we can continue to find a solution from there. And could you let us know if these are all books downloaded from the Sony eBook Store or imported from other sources.

As for the search function, I'm not sure what the problem is, but that can be looked into after we find out the problem with the sort.

Good sorting, WDE

*edit* I've noticed you've had your PRS505 for a while so I'm assuming here, that you are upgrading from a previous version of eBook Library that was working properly and have upgraded the firmware on your PRS505 as is suggested by Sony.
Yup - everything is up to date, including the firmware. Here's a screen shot of my books page...note that I've tried sorting by author, in descending order. Most of my books were purchased from the eBook store, but some were from Manybooks.net.

Interestingly enough, the sort functions AND the search functions work in collections. Just not in the main library or books list.
