Thank you for the welcome PleasantKeming.
Not sure what you mean by changing the metadata... I have made a small adjustment to show the author <first-name,last-name> in the metadata screen, but my listing over on the left (where you have described) begins "Andy Adams", then "Wesley Allison", then I get "Anonymous" then "Rex Beach" follows that - I wondered if there was a way to have them listed in a kind of alphabetical order?
