Thanks for the kind words. The sort by should only list the current page/category. You might be confused because "sort by" ignores pagination and rearranges all of the libraries in that category, and only then re-paginates it... Or am I misunderstanding your comment?

Thanks for coming back to me. Let me clarify what I mean.

When I'm on the front page or, especially, once I have selected a category, I want to be able to sort that list by newest/top-rated/last-updated/etc.

I'm used to seeing the option to do that sorting (or filtering, if you ever do that) up at the top of the things I am looking at, rather than by the list of categories.

So, the recommendation I am making is to show any sorting/filtering controls at the top of the list instead of on the left hand side of the page.

Aah, yes! That makes sense. Ill take a look at modifying the design to do that, its probably a better UI paradigm.
