- While in the reading book mode, you can choose to go directly to the next book in the list (instead of having to go back to the list, scroll to the page, and select).

Basically, I read a lot of serialized books, where each "chapter" numbers 20 pages, and there are hundreds of chapters per book. I like to use the booklist / folder method as a sort of chapter of contents for each serialized book.

Unfortunately, the method of sorting by name doesn't work for me, since the chapter numbers are spelled out "one", "two", "three", instead of "1", "2", "3".

Neither does sort by date modified, since chapters sometimes get updated and need to be redownloaded, changing it's "modified" date to a more recent date than later chapters.

So it would be great if you could have the option to sort HTML files in the list by file name, which are ordered sequentially, in addition to the book "title" and date modified.

It's also a bit annoying to have to go back to the book list to select the next chapter (or, rather, "book") to read. It'd be great to have an option to "Jump to the next book" if you were in a browsing mode (or, for me, reading a serialized book).
Dear Miki:

Thank you. I will take your entire comment and relay to Jinke to get their engineers hopefully working on a solution!! It will go today!
