The shop is dying, long live the shop!

I have decided to ditch the idea about making my own webshop, I quite enjoyed it but I just don't have the time.

So, from now on the shop will be at mohsart.se (sure, almost the same address, but the design is quite different).

The new shop doesn't have all articles added yet, in particular lots of books are still missing, so it's not time just yet to forget completely about the old one, but every day I add a title or 10 so eventually it will be complete.

I have two issues with the new shop:
The big issue
I haven't as of yet found a good way to enter author information.
There is no such field and the ones that are obvious to use (at least everybody at the forum seems to use them) aren't one-to-many linked with the titles, i.e. it's impossible to have more than one author of a book.
I have a idea of a workaround, to use the "tag" feature for authors, but the design of the tag box on the site needs some redesigning for it to be possible and possibly some more coding is needed so for the time being I have the author information in a information field of each book.
The small issue
The categories are sorted alphabetically and there is no way getting around that.
Well, except for adding a number in front on them, but that is so awfully ugly that I'd rather have them unsorted, at least for the time being.
