Suggestion and comments

I am using bookreader for mac since when Apple decided to change its book software to move to Apple iBooks reader. A large number of different problems have been then reported by a lot of users: basically the Apple software lacks many options that a serious book collector cannot accept. I am currently managing more than 4,300 books, all of them crafted personally the way I like to have.
Bookreader for mac helped me in organizing my large collection better than the Apple “bare-bone" software. My thanks for that. However, It still miss certain options quite significant, and I would be sincerely grateful if you could revise and integrate them in a new release, even if this would imply that the software should not be given for free. I would really give five stars should the next points be solved.
These are two major upgrade I would need:
1. An additional data field to record Author sort name, editable by user. (e.g. John Robert Smith should be shown as Smith John Robert). The current version does not permit it, and when you are dealing with large number of items, searching for a specific author is painful. That field should automatically translate the present name to sort name.
The "author sort name" should be activated in the already existing option list.
2. An user default preference option as to change or not the title string for the entire collection (leave as it is now or consider the complete title as “sort title": the current version uses to ignore the first word of the title when it is an article, a preposition etc. This is not necessarily the way used in other languages, as it is in my Italian common use. The result is another search difficulty as in point 1.

Thanks in advance for your attention. Could it be possible to hear your thinking?

(Post scriptum: In the Italian version, please translate “GENRES” into “GENERE” and “TAGS” into “TAG”)
