Need Better Organization for Search Results

When I search all downloaded resources (while offline) I get a really long list of individual results. Is there a way to organize/sort the results by resource like in the Windows Desktop version? I realize that I can just search individual titles to limit results, but sometimes I'm doing exploratory searching just to see what is in the resources I don't know about. Plus, searching individual titles would take a lot of time (250 downloaded).

Not sure if this is already an option and just can't see it. If not, I would recommend it.

Online mobile searches use databases from FL. Desktop searches use DB index built locally. Mobile does not have this (and you’d not want the battery drain).

I get all the results online or offline. I'm referring to how the results are organized. Plus I use logos app offline for days at a time. It can't be using online databases exclusively. I'm not referring to titles in my entire library. Just those I've downloaded to my phone. Would like the option to group those results by resource instead 9f one long list.

In actuality, they are already in resource order, so I'm looking for a better way to navigate through then instead of the endless scrolling.

Steven, I almost never use the multi-resource search (eg Bibles, Open Reources, etc). Indeed, it's the wild-wild-west if you're on line ... resource results carefully assigned chaos theory. And offline, it's gazillions of lines of scrolling. Plus I can't see exactly what the sort is.

I don't use desktop online, so I often try out the app.logos.com. I was amazed ... it's the same chaos theory repeated exactly. That's supposed to be mathematically impossible.

For the record, one doesn't need a formal prepped indexing to sort ... results are a tiny subset, easily sorted.

You're right about the existing sort. At first I thought it was by resource, but upon closer look it is kind of haphazard. I also think it would not be difficult to add sort by resource, but I'm not the one doing it.

You would think it doesn't require any kind of index or draw extra battery since sort is just manipulating data rather than generating. The hard part is already done. It just needs to be presented better.
