Tawnya | 4084 comments Thank you David for this one and doing the others.
Is the Jim Butcher page not showing the ABC sorting for you as well?

David Raz (davidraz) | 13127 comments I'm not sure what you mean by ABC sorting.

Also, in Butcher's Q&A:

How is your hair so luxurious and sleek?
Jim Butcher: It feeds upon the souls of fanpeople.

A friend of my daughter from college was a doppelganger for Jim until Jim shaved his head and looked like a new recruit. That had to have been 2012ish since she graduated in 2013 and moved to Japan. When I showed the kid Butcher's photo in the latest book he was shocked.

As to the ABC all of the other aothors' combination page have the line:
filter works by title: all a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z
That is missing on Jim's page. I have seen it occasionally. I usually create a new page and move everything over to the non-glitch page. With Jim being a verified page I cannot do that. The ABC makes things easier and gives me a "goal" so I know when to stop instead of looking up and finding I have been going at in for 10 hours straight. That happens way too often. Averaged out I can guarantee that I have spent 12 hours a day on this site since I was granted status. Due to health issues I wasn't as active last month, but I still averaged 800 edits a day. I am a very odd person who loves spreadsheets. I keep track of the most mundane things through them. Last year I was curious about my edits when I hot the 3000 limit. I thought I was in trouble, but reading through the old threads it appeared to actually be a badge of honor. What's odd how often I have been allowed to go over that number. I wonder if they have stopped the cap. Last month I did 3,555. I thought it was a fluke, but this month I did 4,012.

Sorry for prattling on. Thank you again for merging the editions.

David Raz (davidraz) | 13127 comments Now I understand. I noticed the ABC sorting has been missing from many authors from some time. That was even more annoying because the access to the following pages is also missing. I realized I: can force it manually. For example, to get to the second page: add ?page=2
https://www.goodreads.com/book/combin...
To get to the letter M add ?letter=m
https://www.goodreads.com/book/combin...
I hope this helps.

I believed the cap to be 5,000. I used to be able to get that within five minutes when I edited mega-series of books. If you add a book-zero to a series of 1,000 books, it counted as a 1,000 edits. I stopped editing most of those series because of that.
