I am a very casual user. Not trying to be clever or complicated. I am frequently confused by the official documentation (mostly for lack of useful detail and assuming more for-knowledge that can be reasonably expected). Little things such as a simple way to find out what the little symbols that show up on the screen mean. Divergence from the expectations of windows users (I know - heresy, but there are a lot of us). Now after I have annoyed the forum members, there is an issue with the way calibre handles sorting by series. It is one of those things that just do not make sense to me. There is also some sort of strangeness (how about that for a precise statement a la calibre) when importing zip files from a directory. While importing zip file from a directory, I got messages about calibre using a zip file and not allowing me to move it. For no reason I can discern. After the import was finished. I closed calibre and reopened it and the problem went away. It also seems to require naming from a higher level directory to access a file. Not consistent with Windows file system. Rephrase; can not open a zip file in the left side of explorer. Must be on the right side. Not the way it is supposed to work.

If you click on the series column header to sort the series, it puts the results at the top of the display, but backward in the alphabet. If you click the header again, it puts the series in alphabetic order, but puts them at the bottom of the book list. That really seems to be the wrong way to handle this. Perhaps there is a hidden magic way to avoid this; but I have not been able to find it.

Is there a way?. If not, how does one submit an issue to the people maintaining the product? I have also not found that. But I am a simple user.
