Currently, images saved to your favorites, or bookmarks, are sorted alphabetically by author.  However, the author column does not contain the work's author, but rather the person who uploaded the work.  Since a vast majority of the work was uploaded by Luthur from the old site, the author column is simply full of "System", Luthur's system administration account.  Can this be fixed?  Can the author of a work be used rather than the person who uploaded it for sorting purposes?

The default display for bookmarks is a bit lacking in that regard.  The big issue is that you can bookmark almost any content type, but which field you'd want display will be different depending on whether it's a story, picture, or forum post.

As a partial workaround, I've made two additional tabs for the user profile display: Favorite Stories, which uses a display similar to the Library and lists the story author; and Favorite Pictures, which uses a thumbnail layout like the Recent Pictures page.

I've left the My Bookmarks page as it is for now, as it displays all content types. I'd be happy to get suggestions on how people would like their favorites displayed.
