I thought about sorting by title or author at first. I decided against
title, because I didn't want to deal with which part(s) of the title to
ignore when alphabetizing. Author was a possibility, but I thought that
people who knew the author (or book) they wanted could just do a find
string to find the corresponding book number.
On the other hand, for people that just want to go through the list,
ranking books they've read, the current order is pretty good because
it tends to have the more popular books at the top (I won't tell you
exactly why, but some of you can probably guess :-).
I could post a list sorted by author for those who prefer it that way.
John, can you export the sorted list to a text file and email it to me,
then I will put it on my web page?
