Describe the feature/enhancement

First of all, I really love what you've made here! It's a masterpiece.

One thing I would find useful and which I think would also be aesthetically pleasing would be to have collapsed series cards in the library view and also the expanded series cards on the series pages show the author(s), just like with the normal books.

This is especially useful when sorting books by author and collapsing series. The current behavior is as though the series has no author, and they are sorted at the very end of the list, and not with the other books from the same author.

I suppose some changes would need to go into LazyBookCard.vue and LazySeriesCard.vue, but I'm not sure if the authors data on the series is immediately available or if that would need to be collated first. Also, one would need to make this available for consideration when sorting.

What do you think?

@advplyr commented on GitHub (Aug 31, 2022):

The collapse series option has been a headache because a series doesn't have all the same sort options as a regular book does.

I can definitely see why the collapse series option is useful and so it has stayed despite the issues I have with it.

I hope this is solvable, it would be great to see in library view the expanded series cards with an author name included. (Thanks for an awesome program btw)
