  • 📊 Progress - Sort by reading progress percentage
  • 📅 Last read - Sort by last reading date

• Toggle Ascending/Descending
  Use the right dropdown to select "↑ Asc" (ascending) or "↓ Desc" (descending)
• Sync with Main Page
  Changing the sort in the book list window automatically reflects in the main page's sort dropdown and vice versa

Sorting by Column Headers

• Click column name to sort
  Clicking any column header will sort by that column's values in ascending order
• Click again to toggle ascending/descending
  Clicking the same column header again will switch to descending order. Clicking again will return to ascending order
• Sort indicators (▲▼) are displayed
  The currently sorted column displays ▲ for ascending order and ▼ for descending order

Clear Sorting

• Clear from Dropdown
  Select "No sort" from the left dropdown to clear sorting and return to the original order (registration order in the reading log)
• Keyboard Shortcut
  Press Alt+K or click the menu bar [View]→[Clear Sort] to clear sorting

Reordering Columns with Drag & Drop

The display order of columns can be freely changed with drag & drop. Placing frequently used columns in visible positions improves work efficiency.

Column Reordering Steps

• Drag the column header
  Click and hold the column header you want to move with your mouse
• Drop at desired position
  While dragging the column, move it left or right, and release the mouse button at the desired position
• Customized order is saved
  The changed column order is automatically saved and will be displayed in the same order the next time you open it

Resetting Column Widths and Order

After customizing column widths and order, you can use the "Reset" button to restore them to their initial state.

Reset Feature

• Reset Button
  Click the "Reset" button in the upper right corner of the book list window to restore column widths and order to their initial state
• What Gets Reset
  Column widths and display order are all restored to their default values
• Confirmation Dialog
  A confirmation message is displayed before the reset is executed. The reset will not be performed until you click "OK" to prevent accidental operations
