Sorting and filtering
You can sort and filter your books using the "Sort by" and "Filter by" dropdowns at the top of your Bookshelf. If you would like to search your content you can do so by keyword; this feature searches description, title, status, and author name fields of the form. By default, we sort your list of books by the date they were last modified. You can change how your Bookshelf is sorted by using the "Sort by" dropdown at the top of your Bookshelf. You can then sort alphabetically by title or by contributors. You can also sort by price (highest-lowest, or vice versa), or by the date on which your title was submitted or last modified (oldest-newest, or vice-versa).
