Sorting your library

Sort options control the order volumes appear in your Library. Combine with filters to find exactly what you need.

How to access sort options

Tap the Filters button in the filter pill to expand the filter panel. Sort options are at the bottom.

Sort fields

OptionOrder
Added DateWhen you added the volume to your collection
TitleVolume title alphabetically
SeriesSeries name alphabetically, then by volume number
RatingYour rating (★ count), highest to lowest

Sort direction

For each sort field, you can pick:

  • Ascending — Lowest/earliest first (A→Z, oldest→newest, lowest rating first)
  • Descending — Highest/latest first (Z→A, newest→oldest, highest rating first)

The default is Added Date, Descending — newest additions appear first.

Common sort patterns

  • “What did I just add?” — Sort by Added Date, descending (default).
  • “What have I owned the longest?” — Sort by Added Date, ascending.
  • “Find a specific volume by title” — Sort by Title, ascending. Combine with Search.
  • “See my favorites” — Sort by Rating, descending. Combine with Status: Owned.
  • “See my series in order” — Sort by Series, ascending. Volumes within each series sort by number.

Sort persistence

Your sort selection persists across app launches.

Sort by Series — what about volumes without a series?

If a volume isn’t part of a recognized series (e.g., a one-shot), it sorts by its title. Series sorting is usually used to group multi-volume sets together.

Sorting and filtering work together

Sort applies after filtering. So if you’ve filtered to Read Status: Reading and sort by Series ascending, you’ll see only currently-reading volumes, grouped by series alphabetically.
