I must have missed this in the documentation somewhere.

All I want to do is have these pages: 1. Most recent from Author (a static URL that we can link to from the navigation) 2. Author Monthly archive pages

Every time I go to create a new archive mapping, I can have EITHER author or author monthly -- and it's random on what will appear (example: I chose "author" from the drop-down list, I get "author monthly" as a result)

I tried creating another archive template and assigning it to be an author index, but that assignment also affected the main entry listing index.

Is there anyway to do this?
