### Search-related issues
1. UI/Search: Search output order seems random. Status: Defer. Search is handled by PostgreSQL, and unchanged from the old site.
2. Bookshelves have lost their hierarchy and metadata. We have the key=value pair for lowest-level bookshelf membership, but not the group it was part of. For example, here is what the top-level grouping for Canada used to look like: https://web.archive.org/web/20200229062612/http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Canada_(Bookshelf) .. currently, you can find books in the right category. This, for eaxmple, is in "Canada:" https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/53929 .. however, the Canada bookshelf doesn't list the granularity, such as by putting #53929 in Autobiography/biography under Canada. Basically, the hierarchy is not presented. Status: being considered. Bookshelves are now database entries, rather than Wiki pages, and the hierarchical structure presentation is not being presented.
### Feature requests (things that are not really broken, but would be good to have)
1. Bookshelf sorting by author. For example, https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/bookshelf/16?sort_order=title&start_index=26 can sort alphabetically by title, but not by author. The sort field is already part of the request (sort_order=title), so sorting by other fields seem viable. Status: Not yet investigated.
