 * Hi – is there a way to have multiple authors appear in a specific order other
   than alphabetical? For example, in the case of an academic work where author 
   order generally relates to level of involvement/contribution on the work? Thanks!

 * Hi [@koben-1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/koben-1/),
 * By default, the “Genesis Author Pro” plugin only shows the books ordered by their
   published date and time.
 * They are shown in descending order, where the most recent one would show first.
 * You’ll find the option to adjust published date at right-hand column on each 
   book’s edit screen, just under the heading “Publish”.
    ( “Published” field should
   not be confused with the “Publication Date” and both are shown in this screenshot:
   [http://nimb.ws/K3OoZA](http://nimb.ws/K3OoZA) )
 * This arrangement provides most flexibility because book page’s published date
   is not shown to visitors on front-end, but only book’s publication date is visible.
   Site owners can edit it anytime to re-adjust book order, without remaking/re-
   adding them.
 * There is an edit link to adjust book page’s published date and time, as shown
   in another screenshot: [http://nimb.ws/IBT7hy](http://nimb.ws/IBT7hy)
 * To show books grouped or ordered by any different criteria, custom page template
   will be needed.

 * Hi, thanks for responding! I wasn’t referring to book order, however. When a 
   book has multiple authors the plugin lists these authors alphabetically. However,
   there is often a need – again, in the case of academic works – to list authors
   in a specific order for this individual title. Is this possible? If so, how?
