Question about My Passage Guide: Collections

Okay so I recently purchased Discipleship Journal and am looking forward to using it. The first thing I did was to set up a collection for the journals in Logos, and then added the collection to My Passage Guide. I did a sample search on Galatians 3:19-4:7 and was surprised at then number of articles that referenced the passage. However, I'm wondering if there's a way to have My Passage Guide sort the collection by date? I clicked the button in the "Collections" tool to sort by publication date, but it didn't seem to do anything to the way My Passage Guide sorts things. Likewise, the "Rank" option doesn't seem to impact the search results in My Passage Guide.

Results are "ranked" in PG Collections and there is no other option to sort, unlike a Basic Search (where you also can't sort by date).

IMHO, there was no thought on how to use collections in the PG. This is clearly another step backwards from L3. I placed a uservoice suggestion about this issue: http://logos.uservoice.com/forums/42823-logos-bible-software-4/suggestions/1338685-collections-section-of-the-passage-guide-should-

FYI...I suggested to list the items by their priority. Truth be said, I would like the data to be sorted anyway other than the was it is presented. The current way is completely useless.

I took away my votes from something else and gave you 3 votes for that one. It really is a poor design. Considering collections often have lots and lots of articles, displaying them by some internal algorithm called "rank" makes almost zero sense.

I was so giddy with excitement over Libronix winning AGAIN!

So I compared Romans 13:10 for both Libronix and Logos4. Very interesting using the Passage Guide.

Libronix: Commentaries nicely sorted first by name and then volume. Logos4: all mixed up (how am I surprised?)

Then I noticed Libronix even had more commentaries than Logos4. Good work Libronix!! (the missing commentary in Logos4 is indeed in the Logos4 library). Lazy boy.

I don't 'do' collections in Logos4, so that competition couldn't be held.

PLUS: did I mention Libronix's connect to SermonCentral and Graceway??

When oh when is the designer for Logos4 going to chat with that really smarty-pants designer for Libronix (who I think are actually the same person)?

Thanks Chris,

I cannot remember how long I put that request out there, but it has not gained much traction.
