Description
Very useful module. I like it.
I don't Know if it is a bug, but i have to note the sorting problems i find. While the filtering filters by author's Last Name, the sorting link [Author] sorts by the First Name, which is unuseful. Is it a bug or i am doing something wrong? Please help.. Thanks

Well that is an issue in the 5.x version which was addressed in the 6.x version. Basically, prior to 6.x you must enter author names lastname first to avoid this i.e. Smith, John as opposed to John Smith.

Just to confirm, there is no way this is going to be changed in the 5.x branch?
What's strange is that the author link is always to the Surname, even without Lastname, Firstname. So the module knows the surname.
Only 'sort by author' is sorting on the first letter of the name field...
Cheers
