Moon+Reader Pro Re-ordering My Books?

Chibul · 02-11-2018, 09:48 PM

I've went to great lengths to order my 200+ book collection how I want it (series ordered by publication date, authors/genres grouped together) by dragging titles around my shelf.

However upon closing/reopening the app a handful of titles are being reordered automatically for no apparent reason.

How can I stop this from happening?

You probably have the sort function set incorrectly

Sorry to necro this, but I had to point out that the Robilarocn gave inaccurate information.

Following this screenshot, the OP would probably get an error stating "Tip: Aribrary Order supports sort by book title only, doesn't support current sort type".

This, essentially, means that you can only organize the books by Title. HOWEVER: in the Author Sort, you can drag books around to suit your interest. For example, if Series Book 1 Starts with 'A', nothing is preventing you from moving Series 1 Book 2 'G' before Series 1 Book 3 "D". It will be constant, meaning that even if you change your sort order, the moved books should still be there.

My question:

IS there an easier way to do this?
