I created a custom view of my library on the content server, with three "sorts" to give me titles sorted first by author, by title within author, and then by series. The multiple sort idea was suggested by Kovid, but the only way to do it is to create the URL manually. (Incidentally, why is it all stashed away as part of a fragment identifier?)
Since this was such a hassle, I bookmarked it:
http://localhost:8080/#library_id=Li...uthor_sort.asc
But, when I go to the bookmark, I get the cover view instead of the custom view. Any ideas why this should be?
