For the full bibliography page, it might be good to have a note at the top explaining why the bibliography is in the order that it’s in. It will seem vaguely alphabetical by author last name and title to a user since that is what most of the IDs are based off of, but it’s not going to make sense to a reader why the Theatrum Chemicum Britannicum (#Ashmole1652) is between vol. 3 of the Artis Auriferae and Ashmole’s Way to Bliss (especially because of the issue in the point before). This is obviously a suggestion for the future when there’s time, but I also think there needs to be a better mechanism for reader navigation on this page. Something like a search box or an ability to reorder the entries based on author or title. Reported by Alex Wingate.

It is currently sorting by XML ID: <xsl:sort select="lower-case(parent::biblStruct/@xml:id)"/>. The sort order can be easily fixed here.
