Calibre searches & virtual libraries + sorting ?
Hi,
Is it possible to add custom sorting to saved searches OR Virtual Libraries ?

example usage :
Spoiler:
I have a virtual library which only displays stuff that need to be looked after :
it will display :
-books in a series which are missing (didn't yet buy them or not yet translated)
-books which have bad metadata of any type (after I tagged them as such of course)
-wishlist books not in a series
& more
I'd like a specific sorting method to be applied when choosing that library
so is it possible ?


thanks.

IIRC the View Manager plugin does this.

You could use the View Manager plug-in to switch to a View that sorts as you wish.

that's not exactly what I had in mind but it'll work I guess. Thanks.

@whismerhill:

Perhaps this is a bit closer to what you had in mind:
