I hate that. I have an extensive wishlist and I always refer to the things I added recently, due to a recommendation or such. I can't remember all titles of all books so now I have to sift through and hope I find the one a friend on goodreads talked about last week for example. And I have 3 different wistlists and 3 different libraries that are all jumbled up now.

Simple really. Find what you want, duplicate the tab, make your selection, go to the other tab and remove the book(s). Very easy workaround.
It's the "find what you want" part that's no longer simple, with the books scattered throughout however many pages of wishlist you have, instead of the books being grouped together as you added them.
Exactly. Finding and keeping track of what was added when is the hard part, not actually removing them once found. Especially when your wish list gets beyond 1 or 2 pages. Just looking for a book when they aren't in any discernible order can be daunting. Trying to pick out a specific book from a jumble is much harder than trying to pick out that same book when it is ordered in a way that is obvious (title, author, date added, etc.) It still isn't a huge deal, although as my list grows it will get harder and harder, but it is extra work and will take more time each time I want to find a book.

There are authors I read who have two or more different series, with many books in each. It can be a royal pain to trying to find book number 8 out of 20 in a particular series, when the author has many books listed on Overdrive, some of which are audiobooks which I don't want.

In order to make keeping track of the books in a series I haven't yet read, I spent the time to add each series to my wish list, in series order (since I knew they would show up in the order I added them) so that I could easily just go to my wish list and page through to see what's next. This system is now useless, as those carefully selected and ordered books are now scattered throughout many pages of wish list.

Tip: If you modify the URL of the wishlist page, changing the PerPage=24 to a sane value like 99999, it makes it much easier to view your wishlist.

I usually do that just because I like seeing everything together. But maybe it will help people to cope with this change.

Just remove &PerPage= entirely and it will show everything.

I was hoping one could add sortOrder= parameter but it doesn't seem to have any effect.

Well, it is a simple enough regression, hopefully they will fix it soon.

Hello - I'm a librarian who found this thread while trying to help a patron with this issue. I contacted OverDrive today, and this was their response:

Thanks for contacting OverDrive Support, and I'm sorry for the trouble you're having. Our developers are aware of the issue you mentioned and are working hard to fix it. Unfortunately, we don't have an estimated time of completion yet. I appreciate your patience.

Soo, at least it's a known problem.

And I am so proud of myself for knowing cool tricks with the URL parameters... I never tried removing it altogether.

My guess is that it's now organized by titles that have lower circulation numbers. The stuff I'm seeing at the top of my list is the most esoteric, least popular stuff I've marked.

I realize that I use the Wishlist in an odd way: every week I look through books added in the past week, and add any I might someday want to read to the Wish List. *Any* title. If I need a book right now, I look at the Available Now list; if I'm looking for something great to reserve, I look at the whole list. Sometimes, I want to reserve something that *might* be available in week or two; then, I use the page numbers to jump to an older section of the list.

This new arrangement is really kind of a pain, since it does not give me any temporal feedback. Sure, I know that for older titles, the date added to the site, and the date added to my list, are not indicative of a "new" book, but when arranged by age of my request, I can often follow my train of thought when I added them to the Wishlist. With the current arrangement, I find I often don't remember why I added it to the wishlist, and poof!! It's gone.

Maybe this was all a plot to get us to clean up our WishLists?

I don't know, but since I happen to use my wishlist almost exactly the same way you do, your observation is slightly alarming.

That's good to hear. Based on Overdrive's past site redesign, I figured they had done this on purpose and they would try to convince us it was an improvement......

Mine doesn't seem to be organized that way, too many big name authors at either end of the list.
