Bruce Dunning:I sort by date by changing the resource title.
Ditto, but I remember KSFJ has a good system. I also push back dating to the older languages (eg latin, coptic, syriac, etc) even though the equivalent english translation is more recent.

Thankful for Logos & Verbum allow Resource Title & Abbreviated Title modification so an alphabetic sort is chronological:
Inverted image for easier reading by some. Thankful for Dark Mode contrast improvement:
Personal quirk is adding a letter after year for non-English Language. Some "Bible" resources also have an Abbreviation added to prefix.

I could almost copy P A's list verbatim, but I'll make a few more comments:
Bonus for special Hexateuch studies: The LEB linked to the AFAT Hebrew text with a visual filter color-coded (thanks MJ!) to the source texts.
P A: For me the top 5 at the moment go something like this... 1) ESV good for study, elegant, harder to understand, which forces the reader to work out the interpretation for themselves... 2) NIV 2011 Good middle of the road, general purpose bible, although sometimes can be a bit bland. 3) NLT Easy to read translation, does the interpretation for you (but is it right?), opposite of ESV 4) NASB 1995 more word for word, sometimes a bit wooden. I am currently using this bible to read through the whole bible, as I have never read through it before. Good to mix things up. 5) NRSV mainline translation, a lot of scholars prefer it. Good alternative to ESV for theological interpretation. ***Bonus translation The Lexham English Septuagint good alternative for comparison of old testament based on Greek text.

KS4J, how do you get the columns in your library layout?
ASROCK x570 Creator, AMD R9 3950x, 64gb 3600 RAM, 2tb m.2 EVO Pro Plus SSD (x2), 12tb Seagate Barracuda (x2)...and other mechano-digital happiness.

David Paul:KS4J, how do you get the columns in your library layout?
I think, for the purpose of demonstration, he has opened the Library in multiple tabs
Graham Criddle:I think, for the purpose of demonstration, he has opened the Library in multiple tabs
Ah, yes, seeing that now. Thanks. You know...I like this theoretical option. Would be great if FL could create a multi-column view for the Library.
P A:What are your Top 5 Bible Translations in 2021 and why?
James Amos: 1. CSB 2. NASB 3. ESV 4. LEB 5. NIV
1. CSB
2. NASB
3. ESV
4. LEB
5. NIV
I have the same 5, but different rank for different reasons.
1. CSB - This is the translation I am journaling in my personal quiet time - personal spiritual formation is highest priority.
2. ESV - The translation I use for preaching (accuracy in translation philosophy and accessibility to congregants)
3. NASB - I consult a more "wooden" translation for micro view (Reverse Interlinear Panel, look at individual words)
4. NIV - I consult a more "dynamic" translation for macro view (Discourse features turned on to get the big picture and overall flow of the thoughts).
5. LEB - Since the majority of my study is in Logos, this translation is FULLY tagged and integrated into Logos interactives and datasets.

Kiyah:What are your thoughts on the NET Bible?
I use it, and I don't care that much of other English translations.
Gold package, and original language material and ancient text material, SIL and UBS books, discourse Hebrew OT and Greek NT. PC with Windows 8.1
1) NASB
2) ESV
3) NLT
4) AMP (wish we could get the updated one)
5) NCV [I have young kids and this is the easiest for them to understand :)]
Veli Voipio: Kiyah:What are your thoughts on the NET Bible? I use it, and I don't care that much of other English translations.
I don't read the NET very much but I do like the notes
1) NABRE
2) RSVCE
3) ESVCE
4) NJB
5) DRB
I guess I'm just a simple man.... here's my choices...
1. NKJV
2. Text Comparison under Tools in Logos with 11 translations.
I do my heavy studying now in Logos with minor in WS (there are things I can do quicker in WS still). My reading I do out of an opened book.

Thankful for Logos & Verbum change that allows Library to be opened in many tabs. +1 like so Please Vote => https://feedback.faithlife.com/boards/logos-desktop-app/posts/add-title-view-to-library
Sean:NLT--I usually avoid looser translations
At first I read this as "loser translations" and chuckled. I thought, "I'm not a fan of the NLT but that's a bit harsh." lol Then I realized what you meant. Reading is fundamental. lol
LOL funny
Inductive bible study method might have helped Observation-Interpretation-Application
before Interpretation and Application, always do the Observation
Thanks Kiyah for making me chuckle LOL

P A: Has anyone switched from NKJV to MEV?
Has anyone switched from NKJV to MEV?
I am really curious about this translation, too.
ESV (has become my "go to" translation for its accuracy or translation)
NIV ('84) (Was my "go to" translation, but moved to ESV because my congregation cannot buy a NIV ('84)
NLT
After that I go to the Greek (NA 28) for New Testament and the Hebrew (BHS)
