So it looks like if you have books in multiple shelves (on a Kobo), and want a specific order, you end up with multiple copies on the device (and sorting by book title may be a problem).
I'm not saying this is a bad thing, just something to be aware of. |
What you asked Peter is much more detailed than what you asked here:
Quote:
Say I have books Book_A, Book_B, Book_C. I want a collection (Collection_A) to have books in order Book_A, Book_B, Book_C. I want another collection (Collection_B) to have books in order Book_C, Book_B.
And I also want to be able to order by (original) book title order. I want only one copy of a book on the device.
What you are saying now is that within the shelf/shelves you want to order 2 different ways? That wasn't what I understood from your post in this thread...You can have a book in multiple shelves without having multiple copies. You just can't sort each shelf except in the pre-ordained manner described by Peter.
Your original post here asked:
For example, I read Terry Pratchett Discworld books. I could have the books in series order in a collection called Discworld. I could have two other collections (say Fiction and Fantasy). And I could go out to the main view and sort by book title.
When you go out to the Library view and then select "Books" instead of "Shelves", you can still sort by author, title, file type and recent reads. Without having 2 books on the reader.
I have 50 books on my reader, 10 of them are in 2 different "shelves" (by series, and also by "read or unread"). I don't have 60 books on my reader even though these 10 books show up on 2 shelves...
My answer was based on my understanding of what you posted in this particular thread.
