Mostly good, few minor issues – Calibre Companion Review

For the most part this app does the job. A few minor issues make it less useful than its Android counterpart. * Can’t sort by custom fields. On Android I use this to sort the collection by LC call number, but here I can’t have the sort I’m used to. * Sort by author lists multi-author works once under each author ... _only_ in list view, not in grid view ... unless the authors start with the same letter, in which case the work is only listed once. This inconsistency is insane. My personal preference would be to have multi-author works listed only by first author in every view, and leave search to find the rest; this is how browse views in standard library catalogs work. But in any case whether the work appears more than once should not depend on choice of view or on first letter of author’s last name! * Scrolling in grid view is sluggish. The hitches on fast scroll are quite noticeable.
