I notice many of my books have categories (like General, French, etc.), but I can't find a way to filter or sort by it. I ended up just categorizing with bookmarks, but is there a way to sort searches by the book's category?

HAve you tried "filter by".. with options: see lower right of screen display on your "books" page; the "help" feature (top right of screen)

From the help file:

You can narrow down your search considerably by using the EYB filters.  These will help you find recipes to match very precisely what you you're looking for.  By a recipe type, ingredient matches, ethnicity, course, occasion and nutrition.  

You will get more precise results by selecting Ingredient/Meat, poultry & game/Chicken than you would typing Chicken into the search box.   In this example we're using Filter By options to find aThai curry, that uses lemongrass but doesn't use nuts.

1. Click on Recipe Types/Dish Types/Curry 


2. Click on Ingredients/Meat, poultry & game/Chicken/pieces  
   Click on Ingredients/Herbs & Spices/Herbs/Lemongrass
   Click on Ingredients/Baking ingredients/Nuts


3. Add each item by clicking on the + on the right hand side


4. If you add an item by mistake - remove it from the filter area by clicking on the x.


5. To exclude Nuts from your search click on the green+, the icon changes to a red-
