So, I might have something called A collection of C.S.Lewis letters Vol 3, or C.S.Lewis letter collection and unless you get a word order right, your search results will be very poor.

And that's exactly why I'm saying that what I do is to order my books by author, and then type "L" or "LE" to go to the point in the list at which I'll find books by "Lewis".

But some of the books i dont bother to remember authors names, untill i get to see if i like the book, lets say you go and download/buy ten books a a time cause they were free. Sort by author and they are gone who knows where. Sure you could sort by recent as well. Im not saying theres no other way, but surely progress is something that kindle itself records all the time, it even shows it in the form of dots under the book name. So why not offer it as a sorting option, thats my only question.

That's a question you'd have to ask Amazon.
