Sorting Lists
In the My B&N Library part of the library, you can sort lists of items. You can sort by:
•Most recent (default): The list is sorted by how recently you have read the content. Content that you have not read is sorted by how recently it was downloaded.
•Title: The list is sorted by the item’s title. The sort is a “smart” one, discounting the leading words “A” and “The.”
•Author: The list is sorted by the last name of the first author.
You cannot sort a list of items after a search. A list of items found in a search is always sorted by relevance. The algorithm gives more importance to title and author matches and considers the numbers of matches in the fields searched.
To sort a list:
1On the Home menu, tap my library.
2(Optional) Tap Change view > Show and choose one of the content types: All, eBooks, Magazines, or Newspapers.
