Request For Better Library Organization Options

When I pull up my library on the iPad I dearly wish I could organize things by my own categories as I do physical books on a shelf and virtual volumes on iBooks.   For instance, why not let me put all the Ignatius Study volumes or all the Navarre Study Commentary volumes in a single category that I designated so they could all apppear together.  I’m actually discouraged from getting more volumes as it becomes harder and harder to logically sort my library in a way that is intuitive to me.

    Library management could certainly be better but are you familiar with tagging?

    if I tag resources on the desktop, I can use those tags to filter resource in the mobile apps library

  • Library filters work on mobile devices: e.g.

    • series:navarre
    • series:ignatius
    • title:ignatius
    • mytag:verbum

    Logos and Verbum applications on Windows and Mac have Detailed view so can see filterable columns. Logos wiki has => Filtering resources in your Library

    Thankful for many useful Library filters provided by Faithlife.

    FYI: personally have tagged ~20 % of my Library since prefer to use Library filters provided by Faithlife (less effort on my part to setup and use).

    For instance, why not let me put all the Ignatius Study volumes or all the Navarre Study Commentary volumes in a single category that I designated so they could all apppear together.

    Adding title prefixes allows me to filter Library by series initials (includes desired series plus some more):

    Screen shot shows application Library sorted by Type then Series. Thankful for thread => Collection rules for sorting commentaries for Commentary rules (filters) that were useful for selecting & tagging resources.

    Keep Smiling [:)]
