Can we *nest* sorting requirements?

mmobes · 01-29-2022, 04:44 PM

When I’m looking at my library, is there a way to set the conditions under which the books are sorted?

What I’m looking for is to sort by author, and then if the authors match, sort by series. Right now, I have it sorted by author but inside of that it sorts alphabetically.

So for instance, I would want the Harry Potter series to display in order instead of based on the title.

The View Manager plugin can save and recall multiple sort sequences for each library, see ==>> Index of plugins

Sort by series. Then sort by author.

View Manager can do it automatically.
