I have a collection of English Bibles. Is there a way to change the order of the books listed in the collection? Thank you
An ordering option is adding year prefix to titles:
Library has resource information that has pencils for editing titles:

You can click the column headers in the collection tool to change the sort order.
This works fine if you want to modify and unmodify the order quickly.
KSFJ's method above also works on a more permanent basis. It is more flexible than simply inserting the date. If you want books to appear in a particular custom order, you can insert 01:, 02:, etc., in front of them (or use three sig digits if you plan to go over 100 books in a certain order).

Rich,
This reminds me of a related concern. You can indeed click the column headers to change the sort order, but I find that when you do, it default to this horrible collapsed view. Even "expanding all" leaves a double entry of sorts. Am I doing something wrong? If not, this is very annoying display behavior. Clicking to sort by another column should do just that, not group everything. Especially in collections, where an author sort (for example) leads to a collapsed view with nearly every author only having one entry under the grouping.
Any response from Logos?
Hello? Any response on the issue I raised?
When presenting a new concern it's best to start a new thread. Logos has already given an answer to the initial issue raised in this thread.
The answer to you question is no, that is the way Logos/Verbum works. When you sort, it normally groups by the sort field. Yours is not a common complaint so I doubt a change is in the works. If you want the change you should probably enter it on logos.uservoice.com and see what support it gets.

Observation: many columns that sort into collapsed view can have more than one entry in that column. For example, many resources have more than one author; collapsed view groups by each author.
Series column tends to have one value per resource. Personally like collapsed view with resource count per series. Also like collapsed view for Type, which has one value per resource. Noticed Logos 6 has 31 Types.

Text Comparison tool sorts resources alphabetically so adding year prefix causes text comparison sort to become chronological.
