Discuss: How should searches in the "Collections" section of the passage guide be sorted?
Currently the collections section of the passage guide sorts search results by rank. However, I think it would be far more useful to have it grouped by book, and have the books ordered first by priority, and second by number of hits/relevancy.
What do you think?

I do, too, or rather, I'd like at least as many options for sorting that the regular search has (which I think should be expanded to include sorts like what you're describing).

Absolutely. This has been a bugbear of mine since Beta testing - sorted by book, collapsible results - some sort of ranking for books.

Spot on Mark, this seems to be the most natural to my brain as well.

Yes, this ability to have this would be very helpful.

Yes, that is just common sense.

I would like to see them listed by star ratings. Actually prioritized books first then do the rest by star rating. To me count of hits and the like is less important then what my rating of the quality of the content or the book.
Right now I see people using the star rating for all sorts of miscellaneous things. To my way of thinking that is a violation the integrity of the design purpose of the star rating field.

I agree with this too.

I guess I would like to see at least two options
- Author, title - This is standard academic procedure, at least at the seven colleges and graduate schools where I have taught or studied.
- Star rating - It is possible to star rate all the books in a mid-size personal library (3,000 to 10,000 resources) but it is all but impossible to prioritize all of those books using the current methods.
Title only sorts were the mark of a person will little schooling every place I have studied. A problem with them is that there are many duplicate titles. Plus knowing the author tells you a lot a orientation of the book's content. Titles can also be rather misleading. A publisher sort would make more sense to me than title.Sorting by count of hits never made sense to me. Maybe I am just uneducated on the value of that method of presentation.

Somewhat under protest I added an entry to User Voice. It is here. I guess I have not seen much come out of User Voice. The forums seem to get more management attention on a timely basis. We really need a single place to enter ALL suggestions that receive Logos' attention.

It is the most effective, or at worst. no more effective than the Suggestions forum, but I have seen some positive results from UserVoice.
