5.2aB3 Mac library issues
Sorry if these have already been reported.
1. Weird results when searching/filtering — if I open library as a new panel and search for NIV I see this:
NIV2011 whose short title is NIV is ranked 1082 (whatever that means since the numbers aren't contiguous?). Also it looks like its sorted by rank by default (though none of the headings show a sorting caret) but you can see the ranking restarts from 1 near the bottom there.
Now if I click on the Rank heading I see this:
NIV2011 jumps to rank 1, but now it (and all the NIVAC commentaries which are below it) are duplicated in the library results. If I click it a third time the ranks change but are not ordered from high to low, the college press commentaries are duplicated and the actual bibles have disappeared entirely.
2. The default sort order is unclear, and "unsorting" by a column behaves unexpectedly. If I open a new library tab, none of the headers show a sorting caret and it doesn't seem to be sorted by any of the columns. If I then click on one of the headers 3 times (ascending, descending then deselect sorting on this column) it defaults to an inexplicable sort order different from the first one.

The Rank column has never made sense to me, but now it is even more incomprehensible. When I sort by rank, the first 5 resources in the list are repeated at the bottom of the list with the same rank numbers are previously. Reversing the sort order, leaves the same order of numbers in the Rank column, but the resources are different—now sorted in some random fashion. Once again, the first five in the list are repeated at the bottom.
Tried filtering the library by NIC, and the results were even more confusing. Now, all 200 resources are duplicated in the same order. Again, reversing sort on the Rank column reorders the resource list, but leaves the sort column untouched. Again all 200 resources are listed twice.
Frankly, I would be content if that column were eliminated, or at least we would have the option to turn it off. AFAICS it is nothing more than a nuisance.

This behaviour also happens on Windows

It orders the visible resources by how "closely" they match the query/filter you entered. For example, if you enter "NIV", you should expect to see NIV84 and NIV2011 ranked 1 & 2 (or vice versa). (Of course, customising the resource title or abbreviated title may change the ranking.)

It definitely looks buggy in those screenshots.

Are the numbers in the rank column random? I see 1, 24, 47, 70, 93. They may be in order of numerical value, but the large gaps between numbers gives the impression that several resources are missing—or someone at Logos missed the lesson on counting during Kindergarten [:D]
If I sort by title, all rank numbers are >1000. Seems that versions of the NIV should be 1, 2, 3, etc. However, I see…

This is a bug in 5.2a Beta 3.

Thank you for the confirmation

This will be fixed in 5.2a Beta 4.
The Rank column will now properly sort by Rank when clicked, and the result #s will no longer jump (1, 24, 40, etc) or repeat themselves.
