Is there a way sort book & music listings by the title rather than by the author?
If not, would you consider adding it?

Right here even: http://gametz.com/usertab/benstylus/tab/Books.html
I understand that some people may be looking for books by a specific author, and allowing the sort to go that way is fine.
Other times, I think that people may want to search for a specific title and they may not know the author. Take Star Wars books for example - there's tons of those by lots of different authors. Also, I have a lot of manga listed, and I basically know those by the series, not necessarily by the author (though I know a few authors, most times when someone recommends a manga, it's based on the name of the manga not the person who wrote it)
It's awkward to be looking for Culdcept and have to go to the "S" section for the author.

Don't know how easy this would be, but you could make the column headers (Name, Author, Genre, etc.) clickable links that would let people sort on any of those.

This is another case, though. Advanced Search sorts by author, title... I could perhaps allow for a different sort there, but I'm not sure how important it is.

Eh, not very important really. Not very many of us even use the books option; I imagine. If you happen to be fiddling with things and the mood strikes you................ |

But those of us who do use the book section will love you forever.
