• [BUG FIX]Fix another rare crash when returning to CC Cloud display

One small issue.

Sorting by date accessed, went into some book's details screen. When back to the grouping drawer. Newly accessed book did not move to the top.

I imagine the same thing would happen if sorting by date read. If you mark a.book as read, does it resort when you close the details screen.

Yea, I know. The problem is that to do the resort redraws the entire screen, something that can be very slow and distracting. In the past when we have done that we have received many complaints about it.

I might be able to do the resort if the current sort is one that can change in book details, but it would need to do it unconditionally. By that I mean that the list would redisplay even if the date had not changed.

In my testing I worked around this by rapidly switching between grid and list view.

Well, speaking for myself, I don't care if you fix it or not. Its not a real use case for me, I was just reporting it because I tried it and I thought you might like to know about it.

After examining code paths I can make coming back from book details behave as follows:

• If read information has been changed and if the current sort is "read" or "date read" then the display will be refreshed, redoing the sort.
• If the current sort is "date accessed" then the display will be refreshed as above, redoing the sort.
• In all other cases, today's behavior will not change.

I think this deals with the issue in a reasonable way, and also fixes something I too have found annoying.

Sounds perfect to me.

It sounds quite good.

Sorting works. Thanks.
