Prioritize within Collections

I think it would be helpful to be able to be able to prioritize parallel resources collections. I may want my Bibles to be ESV, NASB, NIV ordinarily. But in devotional reading, I might want to have NIV, NASB, ESV.

If I could drag and drop the items in a collection within the listing in a collection pane, I could create a sub-prioritization, which would only affect the order of resources when using the parallel resources tool for that collection.  

(This came up on this thread in reference to lexicons, which is a more believable example than Bibles)

    Whereas I might want RSVCE, EOB:NT, DR, VGCLEM, NABRE, NJB, KJV in my personal reading and RSVCE, NRSVCE, NABRE, NVUL, EOB:NT, VGCLEM, ESV when doing academic work. The more I think about your idea, Justin, the more I like it.

    Exactly. I was using three common translations to try to illustrate the point simply, but that really is the use case. Thanks.
