One question: are there any plans to sort fiction by author, similar to what is done in real libraries? A lot of fiction is already available in this tool, filed under DDN 8xx, but the groupings are pretty broad.

Some classifications (LCCN) are better at encodind Author data and we also have a significant amount of author data in Open Library (we'd just need to integrate it more meaningfully in our search index).
I opened an issue for you here: https://github.com/internetarchive/openlibrary/issues/4319
Given our small team size, not sure we'll have the bandwidth to prioritize any time soon, but contributions are also welcome from the community and we (the community) meet every Tuesday @ 11:30am to discuss and unblock together.
