Groups Widget and Literature Tags suggestion

Hi! I hope I've put this thread in the right place; if not let me know and I'll delete it. I'm hoping to offer some suggestions for how DA might be improved just a pinch.

First, the Groups Widget on our main Profile pages. If you're a Premium member, there's options under "Watchers" and "Friends" to organize the list alphabetically. I'd like it if Groups Widget had that option too. Right now Groups only has "Most Recent to Oldest" instead.

Second...meta tags on literature files, though this one might be a bug. A DA friend cheered me up quite a bit by saying one of my works was #1 (out of just 26 LOL) in the search category for "She-Ra Scorpia" here on DA. So just for the halibut, I tried typing in She-Ra Scorpia just like that into search...no sign of my work here: [link]

I see another story of mine, "Good Help Indeed", shows up under those keywords...I tried putting in other keywords I had when submitting Razor's Edge and that particular story only shows up when I use my name as a keyword. So...bug? Operator error? Any thoughts?

Actually, as an internet newbie, if anybody knows how to make outside search engines like Bing and Google aware of the individual deviations I've got as well as my profile page, I'd love to hear how.

I usually have decent success by typing in the person's username. Like I can find myself by googling Silverrose14. As for individual works, I haven't found a decent pattern. I think it's hit or miss.

Then I just need some more hit and less miss! In this particular case, though, it was so weird that somebody else could see it and I couldn't at the same time. Oh well, I'm hardly a techie.

You could try giving them a call at their headquarters.

Hmm, why not? I'm sure it's just a simple techie thing I'm unware of.

They get them automatically. I'm pretty sure you don't have to do anything

Well, that's just too easy! Surely there must be some way I can screw it up!

Seriously, thanks though, you're probably right.

Oh, and DA Admins, I'd still like to get the option to have the Groups Widget on the Profile Pages organized alphabetically. It would be so much easier than trying to remember "when" I joined a group so I can find it on the list.
