Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Image

I have over 140 books in my playlist. Most of them I have read, but it's a pain searching for the next book to read from it because I have to scroll through the entire list up and down searching for a book I would want to read next.

It would be nice to have a filter to hide all the "read/listened to" books from the list, so that I have to scroll through a shorter list and find a book faster. Also, currently, it's sorted by date added (latest ones at the bottom), but it would be nice to sort by name as well - sometimes, I remember the name of the book, but I have to do the scroll-y thing a few times to find where exactly on the list it is. It's not a big problem, but it is good-to-have feature.

This applies to both the web and mobile app. Not creating another ticket on the app repo, but will if you want me to.

Why would this be helpful?

Find books faster. Manage playlist items better.

I would love this feature as well. I used Plex/Prologue for years and this was baked in and was very useful. I have just under 400 books in my library and it is very hard to find books I have not already read at this point.
