Describe the Feature/Enhancement

The UX for ordering books in collection is really frustrating on big collection (even on small now that I think about it) :

  1. The ONLY way to order is by grabbing a book and moving it. Can we please have a number to assign action possible like in a series.
  2. Can we at least grab multiple books at the same time to move them?
  3. 40% of the time the book you moved goes right back to its original place. Quite frustrating
  4. When adding a list of books to a collection, can we have the option of adding them at the beginning?

That's a cry for help. Please.

Why would this be helpful?

For huge collection, it would be a life saver.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

self-explanatory
