Hi gluckfs
re your (1) the order of the Display lines in the 'book info template' for the cart display can be easily changed by adjusting the **order** of the array entries in the big array, at the top of that book info template. (in ..\templates)

To re-order elements of the admin data entry page you will have to do it totally by hand, in the collect_info template.

Looking for the 'defines' entries which set the texts labels shown on pages is an art... but the defines are always in ..\languages\english or ..\languages\english\extra_defintions. (in \includes for the cart, under \admin for admin side).

The file names will have 'book' in them, see your original uploaded book contrib fileset.

Unsure why misc 1 field might not show in the admin side, but why not use one of the other misc fields?
