Type of Enhancement

None

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Remember Library sort order

Why would this be helpful?

There's no keyboard shortcuts and it takes several mouse clicks to reverse sort by "Added At" (date added) which I have to do every time I open the Library in a web browser

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

No change to UI required (maybe a setting to specify default sort order?)

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v2.32.1

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

I'm not sure what you mean. The existing filter and sort order is stored locally on the client and is preserved. If you close the web page and later open it again, it should still be sorted the same way as you left it.

Just tested on 2.32.1 and confirmed behavior in web client.

Maybe the issue is that there's a lot of stuff encoded in the URL I don't understand. What URL should I bookmark to go direct to my library?

If you just want your library as a homepage, bookmark up through /bookshelf. The rest of the URL is the sorting and filtering information.

That's what I tried but it goes to home. /library/ doesn't work.

You can't use just library/. You need to include the UUID and bookshelf/
