[Question] Show the collection by random

Open bennyz327 opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

I don't know if this function has been done or not I want to show many collections by [Namespace: title], then make the sorting of each collection random, but still keep the sorting within each collection according to the namespace: page Is this possible to do in current version?

Example: file1 have tags "title:1, page1" file2 have tags "title:1, page2" file3 have tags "title:2, page1" file4 have tags "title:2, page2" file5 have tags "title:3, page1" file6 have tags "title:3, page2"

In filter window The first time load may be like

title1collect [file1,file2]
title2collect [file3,file4]
title3collect [file5,file6]

The second time load may be like

title2collect [file3,file4]
title1collect [file1,file2]
title3collect [file5,file6]

The third time load may be like

title3collect [file5,file6]
title1collect [file1,file2]
title2collect [file3,file4]

. etc

I've been running into this. These seem to be our current options:

  • Sort by random for everything that shows up. Collections and uncollected content are displayed in random order as desired, but page order within collections gets scrambled.
  • Sort by namespaces/tags, e.g. series-creator-title-volume-chapter-page: Page order is followed as desired, but collections and uncollected content always get displayed in the same order.

I want to sort by random for everything outside of collections for variety, and then within collections, sort by namespaces to get proper page order. Basically something like this, where a secondary sort option appears when you collect content together:

collection-sort-mockup

The default sorting should probably be a collection-specific sorting option, "inherit", where it simply adopts the global sorting, making it work as it does now.
