brockersI was hoping to find a way to display all of my quotes but listing them by author instead of by quote. To solve the problem I made a patch that creates a new shortcode option [quote|allbyauthor]
I have tested the code and have it working on my site if you want to check it out here: http://www.rockerssoft.org/brockers/vault-quotes
Here is the patch:

Hopefully someone else will find this useful. Quotes Collection is one WP plugin I simply cannot live without.
Thanks again SriniG!!
