Why would this be helpful?

Author order can be used to indicate the order of importance of an artist. For example, a book's author should be listed before the author of the book's introduction, or an interviewer can be listed before the interviewee (or vice versa).

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Simply maintain the author order on overview screens as it appears on the book's screen.

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v2.20.0

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

Whoops, clearly I didn't search well enough. I guess this is technically a bug.

@advplyr commented on GitHub (Apr 2, 2025):

I'm not able to reproduce this issue on v2.20.0.

In v2.20.0 the authors were added the libraryItems table to improve query performance when sorting by author in #4080.

When testing that PR I specifically tested the author order here and we got it working correctly by using a new feature in the latest Sqlite.

Can you confirm that you are using v2.20.0?

Can you reproduce this on a new book in your library and provide the steps to reproduce?

I can confirm I am on v2.20.0.

I am only using metadata tags for my library scan.

The "What Psychiatrists Still Dont..." release had the authors misordered, so I removed the file from my library and re-added and it again is mis-ordered, although it's now in a different order.

Thanks. This is unrelated to the issue but I'm curious why you aren't using a podcast library for the podcast?

I have a lot of author interview podcasts, so I like to have everything in a single library. I do have a podcast library but it's just for downloading episodes, I move everything into my main library when it's properly catalogued and tagged.

Not sure if this is related, but I've also been getting this recurring bug where albums will display to wrong cover art.
