Does 2.5.4 remove "Sort Options"?

EFroh · 07-10-2010, 06:05 AM

Hi everyone,

Apologies if this has been posted in another thread (searched, but I didn't see it). My Kindle has upgraded itself to 2.5.4 and I've noticed I can no longer sort by content, i.e., on the home page, click the nub left and select
Personal Docs, Subscriptions, Books, All My Items.

Has this functionality been removed in 2.5.4? I checked the 5th Edition Kindle User's Guide and I did not see a section entitled "Show Options" (which is where the description of this feature appeared in previous editions of the User's Guide).

If this functionality has been removed, is there anyway to get that feature back? I've done a reset to factory defaults, but I have not been successful in retrieving this feature.

Any help/insight/info would be greatly appreciated.

Isn't the sort option nubbing right? left = view ... / right = sort by?

Yes, and to answer the original poster's question, the "filtering" by document type is no longer available in 2.5.x as far as I know.

Thanks, bwaldron. I'd been transferring books onto my Kindle using Calibre and after the filter function disappeared, I wasn't sure if I hadn't screwed things up somehow. Hmm, I'm glad we have collections now, but I admit I'll miss the filter function.
