And if you read @JimmXinu posts above @kiwidude actually supplied one of the recent changes. Which was the change that also broke to sorting of the menus. He also raised something with me a little while ago. And I'd better finish that discussion.

Thanks. I had not seen those posts. Good to know Kiwidude is still around and well.

Oops, sorry for the list sorting behaviour change, thx for addressing it. As I only use two lists (a default one for books to be loaded on, and a second one which shows what is currently on my Kindle) and my entire purpose of the change was to eliminate the submenu completely for myself I didn't notice.

Sorting fewer than two items is trivial.

New Version Released

- Bug fix--sort View Lists sub menu.

Version 1.7.0 - 08 Nov 2020
- Apply persist_shortcut to view actions when Calibre >= v5.4 so view shortcuts aren't discarded as easily. Calibre PR #1246
- Fix for not always detecting 'last' or 'first' selected item correctly in Edit.
- New optional list features: Put any List's View action in the PI top menu and an option to not sort the books in list order on view. Thanks to kiwidude himself for these changes.

Does anybody know if there a way to see the reading list order on the device? I tried making a catalog - it put the books in alphabetical order. I also considered using the series column but I wasn't sure how (and I'm not sure how it would work if there's already a series).

ownedbycats · 11-21-2020, 09:01 PM

I used Kobo Utilities to "update metadata in device library" and set the subtitle template to Reading List: {#readorder} #{#readorder_index:0>2s}. That seems to have worked.

ownedbycats · 12-14-2020, 08:10 PM

New question: Are there any plans to implement better support for tristate boolean (yes/no/undefined) in column update? Trying to set #onkobo:yes when a book is removed from my send-to-device list clears it instead.

I believe the previous workaround was to use bistate bools but I can't find that conversation again.

JimmXinu · 12-14-2020, 09:16 PM

It looks to me from this post like that is the deliberate behavior for tristate booleans.

I don't have a lot of interest in changes to RL that aren't bug fixes or necessary for Calibre changes.

ownedbycats · 12-15-2020, 02:39 PM

Ah. It seems a bit odd to me, but if it's deliberate....maybe I can convert my #onkobo to a fixed-value text column.

JimmXinu · 12-15-2020, 02:57 PM

I personally used a #noton tag column because I have 3 devices.

JSWolf · 12-15-2020, 03:17 PM

Instead of a Y/N column, can a numeric column be used to keep track of what's on what Reader such as 1, 2, and 3? Can Reading List populate such a column?

ownedbycats · 12-15-2020, 03:20 PM

I don't see any of my existing integer columns in the "column to update" dropdown, so I don't think so.

JimmXinu · 12-15-2020, 03:24 PM

Since a numeric column can only have 1 value per row, no.

I use a tag-like text column and one later per device list, like so:
