Problems with the new Sermons section

As I predicted, adding the MetTab pulpit into the sermons section is proving a pain, and is sometimes almost unusable. This is an SSG for John 12:

What is needed, is for sermons in the same series (not just the same resource), to be listed together. This is much better, isn't it:

    In the beta I had exactly zero resources tagged to appear in this section. Now I have 2 questions:

    • Shouldn't the primary order be by Scripture passage - or at least have the ability to sort by scripture passage?
    • What tag(s) in a PB are necessary for a resource to appear in this section?

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

    Ordering by preacher, then by scripture passage makes sense to me. (Currently, it's by resource, then by Scripture passage). Just as you'd often go to certain commentaries because of the author, you'll often go straight to sermons because of the preacher. I didn't do that order in my mockup, because it was too much hassle.

    It's not supported yet.

    Currently I only have the MTP but I think your idea is what I'd like to see with one addition. Organize by sermon series and within the series by text. Looks like Keller is automatically arranged that way. MTP is arranged by volume rather than text.

    That's what I intended. It just did the mock-up too quickly. I've noticed that currently the sub-sort is by date, which works for consecutive preachers, but not for Spurgeon!

    Mark, how did you do your alternative?

    There is an active case in Development for this suggestion and I will update the case with a link to this forum post.

    Once this is fixed we will update this thread. Thank you[:)]
