Missing Grouping and custom criteria ordering

[Svetloslav]

The issue I posted yesterday, was already closed, so I could not find it and elaborate further on the subject. Barely 24 hours, I thought you guys were overloaded with work.
When dealing with a big library, the "Table" view becomes cumbersome and time consuming and the "Grid" view is frankly a nightmare. The feature I was requesting was grouping into sections based on a custom criteria. Example could be to group by language, or a custom name related to a specific project. When too many items in the library, everything becomes crowded and when searching with an unknown "Title" and/or "Author", there would be no chance to find the document. I understand, that because of technical reasons, it might be difficult, or impossible to implement a "Smart Search" for terms and other abstract parameters contained in the name, let alone in the book itself. Hence the grouping. It can be done at the moment of adding books/documents and placing them in the correct custom group/section. Or it can be done later as a process of organizing the main library. This will be a real gem for anyone with big libraries of books/documents.

Also, between restarts Thorium always opens in Home, one line sort of Grid view and it never remembers when one sets the view in "All publications" to "Table" view. After a restart "All publications" is on Grid no matter what.

Hello, your original issue is #2792

Thorium already provides a search-by-keyword feature, and the table can be filtered by matching terms in specific columns (see screenshot below). Could you please clarify? Thank you :)

By the way, you can add your own "tags" to organise your bookshelf. There is a dedicated table column to filter by tag keyword, and the column header allows you to sort lexically (alphanumerical) which means that publications with be grouped in batches of rows.
