Text Comparison and Collections

When I do a Text Comparison, it gives me 3 collections, Top Bibles, English Bibles, and Historical Background. English Bibles and Historical Background are 2 of many collections in my library. English Bibles, on my Mac, contains 34 resources. On my iOS device, it shows DARBY, ASV, AV which are all English Bibles but why these 3 and why only 3?

Hi Tim

When I do a Text Comparison, it gives me 3 collections, Top Bibles, English Bibles, and Historical Background. English Bibles and Historical Background are 2 of many collections in my library. English Bibles, on my Mac, contains 34 resources. On my iOS device, it shows DARBY, ASV, AV which are all English Bibles but why these 3 and why only 3?

That is a very good question - but to which I don't know the answer!

When I try it against "Top Bibles" I get the expected result. But this is automatically defined by Logos as the top 5 prioritized Bibles.

When I select one of my own collections - "Main English Bibles" - which contains 24 resources only 3 are returned within the Text Comparison. It looks as though they are the top 3 Bibles in the collection when sorted alphabetically.

I can understand that there is a limit to how many resources can be sensibly compared but three seems rather small and the ordering is quite strange!

When I try the same thing in Logos 5, five results are returned and this does take into account prioritization.

So I guess we are looking for similar behaviour within the Logos app.

That's exactly what it's doing. I removed one of those top 3 and the next one alphabetically showed up in Text Comparison.
