Sort By: How to Delete Saved Search?

enuddleyarbl · 10-27-2021, 09:35 PM

EDIT: Sorry. As pointed out below, I messed this whole question up. I'm referring to saved SORTS, not saved SEARCHES throughout.

OP: Looking at the new Sort By function in version 5.30, I've saved some searches, but can't find a way to delete them. There's nothing in the Calibre manual yet, so anyone find a way? Also, it would be nice if the Save button had some way to bring up a list of existing saved searches to copy to.

You mean sorting by multiple clumns? what does that have to do with saved searches?

Like Kovid, I'm baffled how the Sort By function will affect saved searches. But, I have a button on the search that is called "Saved search". Clicking that shows a menu that includes "Manage Saved searches".

Sorry. It looks like I had a couple of senior moments all at once there and managed to mangle the whole question (from title through text). Yes. I'm talking about the Sort By function (which I've added to my toolbars) and sorting by multiple columns. And, I meant saving the multi-column sort (not a search). Once I save a multi-column sort with the Save button on the bottom of the dialog, it shows up under the Load button. But, I can't figure out how to delete any of those saved multi-column sorts. Ditto on the search/sort mistake for my additional question of being given a dropdown list of saved sorts to save over if I want to edit an old sort.
