2 cents worth, with inflation: I use the series column, then created a series number column. Then I sorted backwards ... (Nora told me to do it). I used series number as my first sort and all #1 were together etc. With over 1000 books in at that time it really sort of freaked me out ... I lost the a...

No apology needed at all. When I'm exposed to Europeans, and others, I am sadly aware of my lack of more than one language. But then, more than one English teacher in my past questioned my abilities in English also :oops:

Y'all take care ... bruce

Good to know ... I thought it was just me :lol: The sort criteria is also case sensitive I believe ... as genre ... contains .. "Low Carb" will not identify "Low carb." I would prefer case insensitive, but then, that might just be me? Thanks once again for the help/support, take ...

Author name order

Howdy ... Happy Holidays to all. I'm still learning the pedias and this Mac stuff. That said I have a question about the way authors are handled. I imported about 700 books from Collectorz (windows) and have added a few others. I have many books by Robert Parker. Some are listed by Robert B. Parker,...

Pedias and iDisk

Happy to report that using the Bruji help for sharing a library between two computers I now have Bookpedia working off my iDisk and accessible from both home and work computers.

Conor .... thanks. My first look at the export text on collectorz books looks a bit different but I should be able to muddle through ... I hope. I will give this a try tonight. Thanks again.
