Alphabetical Index for Library to avoid extensive scrolling - needed feature?

Is there a way to group the books in the Library view by the first letter in their title, similar the way iTunes lists songs? It would be really nice to look for title beginning with "S" without scrolling though every single book title - especially with the Perseus download of >1000 volumes! My heavy fingers usually 'open' a book when trying to scroll - sometimes I have to start the scroll again from titles beginning with a "1"...

Anyone else frustrated by this issue? Is there a way to request an new feature to the iPad/iPod app?

    If you click on "Title" in the header, it will order the resources by alpha, but the article "A" or "The" at the beginnin of the title is not included -- use the next word.

    Hi John

    George's reply works fine in the main desktop / laptop Logos application but I'm afraid there is no way - to the best of my knowledge - of currently doing this within the iPad app.

    In terms of making suggestions for new features, you can see what support you get for the idea here or send an email to suggest@logos.com (see http://wiki.logos.com/Logos_Email_Addresses).

    Hope this helps

    Sorry about that.  I failed to notice that this was the iPhone forum.
