Type of Enhancement

Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Adding sort options for narrators in the "Narrators" page:

  • sort by first name
  • sort by last name
  • sort by number of books
  • and maybe allow to reverse the order?

Why would this be helpful?

In the "Narrators" page, there are two columns: "Name" and "Books", but there are no options to change the default sorting order, which is by narrator first name and that isn't the most helpful.

  • Sorting by last name would be helpful to find a specific narrator.
  • Sorting by number of books would be very convenient to show one's favorite narrators, that have the most books, first.
  • I'm not sure how much useful it would be to be able to reverse the sort order though.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Image

Gext and arrow in white for the current sorting order, and in grey for the orders that are not currently used. That's not easy to distinguish at first glance though.

Alternatively, maybe there's no need for an option to reverse the order, in which case an arrow only under the current sorting column would make it easier to tell which order is currently used?

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v2.28.0

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

Narrators are sorted by first name, and I need to scroll a while to find my favorite narrators since they're not on the first page.
