Edit Article

Much like your "Read" shelf on Goodreads, would you like to make another custom shelf "sortable"? This article can explain how you can make it sortable, so the list can be ordered the way you want it to show to others, and also potentially to yourself, for future retrieval of recommended actions.

Tips
Provide Details.
Please be as detailed as possible in your explanation. Don't worry about formatting! We'll take care of it. For example:
Don't say: Eat more fats.
Do say: Add fats with some nutritional value to the foods you already eat. Try olive oil, butter, avocado, and mayonnaise.

EditTips

  • If you enable a shelf with this option, then you can customize the order of your books on that shelf.
  • All shelves (except the Read shelf) have an "enable sorting" button on the shelf page of books contained on the shelf. If you just want to sort only one shelf and not any others, click this button instead. There is a "Disable sorting" that you can use for that shelf after you've finished.
