Originally created by @methosinhiding on GitHub (Jan 23, 2024).

Describe the feature/enhancement

The authors view is currently sorted by Author name by default, but there are no other sorting/filtering options.

Since the addition of authors is automatic but removals are a manual action, a common interaction with the authors page is to use the browser search functionality to locate and then manually delete authors who have 0 books attributed to them (either because their name was wrong/corrected, the 'author' was multiple merged names that had since been split out, or because the file was removed/moved to a different library, etc)

It would be very useful for this repeated author removal task to either be able to sort the author list by book count so that 0-book authors could be deleted en-masse or to provide a shortcut to perform that specific action such as a 'Purge Authors who have no books' button

I thought there was another feature request open for sorting options on the authors page but I couldn't find it

Author filters (not a comprehensive list, but getting the filter functionality there):

Author sorting was a discussion: https://github.com/advplyr/audiobookshelf/discussions/2018

Great thanks, this FR can be specifically for sorting by number of books which would be nice to have.
