Ok, I understand!
Edit the file <your_site>/component/com_abook/models/category.php and change the row 65
from

Code Select Expand

$query = "SELECT a.*, GROUP_CONCAT(bb.name SEPARATOR ', ') AS author, "
to

Code Select Expand

$query = "SELECT a.*, GROUP_CONCAT(bb.name ORDER BY bb.name ASC SEPARATOR ', ') AS author, "

edit the file <your_site>/component/com_abook/models/book.php and change the row 136
from

Code Select Expand

' WHERE b.idbook = '. (int) $this->_id ;
to

Code Select Expand

' WHERE b.idbook = '. (int) $this->_id .
' ORDER BY author ASC ';

edit the file <your_site>/component/com_abook/models/search.php and change the row 129
from

Code Select Expand

$query = " SELECT a.*, a.title AS booktitle, cat.title AS cattitle, GROUP_CONCAT(bb.name SEPARATOR ', ') AS author,  "
to

Code Select Expand

$query = " SELECT a.*, a.title AS booktitle, cat.title AS cattitle, GROUP_CONCAT(bb.name ORDER BY bb.name ASC SEPARATOR ', ') AS author,  "

This fix will be included in next version.
