Text Comparison: Bible Order

Text comparison uses the "Rank" to order the Bibles (bottom of the screen shot) instead of the order I selected in the "Plus these resources" section (top of the screen shot). How do I get text comparison to use the order in the "Plus these resources" section"? Thanks.

Oops ... you're in mobile? I kept the older version.

Since this is a question about the desktop app, the thread may be moved to the appropriate forum.

What version of Logos (desktop app) and operating system are you using for the screen shot? A screen shot of Text comparison would settle whether your issue is on a mobile device (iOS/Android?) or desktop. What is the name of the collection you use in TC?

But your "Rank" order is actually alphabetical

Sorry, I was unaware I could choose the Bibles and the order for Text Comparison on the iPad. I asked the question in this forum because that is what I ultimately want to do...set the Bibles and the order for use in Text Comparison on the iPad. I thought I had to set it up first on the desktop for the selected Bibles and desired order to show up as an option on the iPad. If there is an easy way to do this directly on the iPad without having to use a collection on the desktop that would be great.

For the desktop app I am using 7.12.0.0027 on a Mac.

I would like one selection of the following Bibles in this order: ESV, KJV, CSB, NASB95, NIV84, Darby

I would like another selection of Bibles in this order: ESV, NET, Geneva, Tyndale 1536

I want to be able to switch between the selections in Text Comparison on my iPad using the option next to the red arrow in the screen shot (if possible). Thanks.

After Top Bibles I actually get one useless collection and LXX Bibles collection from all my collections.

Top Bibles appears to be my top 5 prioritized bibles from desktop, so that would be your only avenue for variation.

On mine, after I don't select Top Bibles, it's no longer displayed in the menu, leaving me my targums, which it doesn't know how to compare. I aaume you have to re-install and offer a mea culpa, before seeing Top Bibles again.

Denise, I don't know about iOS. Are you using v6 of the mobile app?

Yes, 6.05.0027 Not important to me; I just have it for curiousness (I use the older Noet)

This is exactly what I want to do too, but have found no way to do it. Since there is this text comparison tool on the iPad, there should be some simple instructions or howto on how to make it use the resources you choose. Please?

If, on the iPad, you tap the three dots you should get this.

Then, on tapping “top Bibles” you get a list of relevant collections

Anne, are you seeing something similar?

Yes, I see something similar.

Did that answer your question? If not, please explain further

How is the checked Top Bibles defined? Can it be done directly from the iPad?

It is your five highest prioritised Bibles in order

It is best done on the desktop but can be done on the iPad by successively making the five Bibles you want your preferred Bible - you do this in the Settings menu
