Navigating lots of open resources

I have a LOT of open resources. (I'm on Android.) In the "Editor Workspace", I'd love it if all these 120+ resources that are open could have a scroll bar on the bottom (or something similar) because when I'm flipping through these resources, I have no idea how far to the left or right a particular resource is. Alternatively, it'd be great to be able to sort them by title or author. Or even if I'm looking for a resource in the library, if I could select the resource there and go to the open instance of that resource rather than open another instance of it.

I'm just thinking out loud. Perhaps I should ask explicitly: How do other users manage resources when so many are open?

Thanks!

    I manage them by closing them. They aren't going anywhere and can be open afresh more efficiently than finding them via scrolling.

    I do that some, too, but leaving a book open in the app is kind of like having a physical book sitting on my desk: it reminds me what I'm into. And for odd but personal reasons, I'm soaking up stuff in massive but wildly disorganized ways. Perhaps it's weirder then I thought. 🤔😁

    It's an interesting problem that other Bible apps might love to have. I use 2 FL mobile apps, so I just remember who's got who open and where. My paperwhites are similar.

    No good idea here.

    Wish there was a way to close all open resources at once instead of going through X-ing them out one-by-one.

    On this I tend to work more like Mike, when I get to half a dozen open resources on the mobile app I start thinking what I can close. I don't think I would even have had anywhere near 120 resources open in the desktop app.

    I do relate to your statement of "soaking up stuff in massive but wildly disorganized ways". I never thought of it in those particular words but it sums up with what I do with Logos all of the time, just not with quite that many open resources at once.
