Reranking books in a collection

I have a collection that contains books that are categorically systematic theologies. Whenever I do a search in this category however I get the books at the top that are the least valuable to me, and usually the resources that are most valuable at the bottom. I don't want to take resources out of this collection but I would like to re-rank those books to get a better search. Is that possible?

Are you using a guide to search for these or just a standard search? In other words, what are you doing to search the collection?

'IF' you use the systematics constantly, then just put a prefix on the title. Then sort search results by title. That assumes certain resources are predictably useful. Else Logos uses a naive (technically) search sort and doesn't group for collections or tags.

I have all my commentaries prefixed using book#;comm-abbrev so the searchs are predictable. I do the same for lexicons and Bibles.

You can re-prioritize a collection by dragging a resource up (or down) and dropping it where you want it.

Great idea Denise. I will have to think about doing this for some of my resources.

I didn't think that changed the order in standard search results does it?

Basic Search does not use prioritization but Bible Search does (except for Analysis). And you can't prioritize a (user) Collection.

Super Tramp's description seems to be intended for prioritizing individual books in say, a commentary series/collection.
