Because for now I don't understand how Mangadex order my personal Lists and it's frustrating.

mod note: multiple threads were merged, and because of how thread merging works in xenforo, the older comment appears first, refer to this comment that actually relates to the thread title

My list always has the same order and it's not ordered by creation date.

The MDLists are ordered by UUID in alphabetical order and those are basically random. If you really want to sort your lists right now, you could recreate your lists until they are in the correct order.
Such a pain 🤣

Let me just drop by to second this request...

I've been frustrated with this since the re-launch and I'd consider this one of the most important issues to address.

I have 22 lists and may still make more. It's a real pain to find the right one when adding manga. I wish they'd be in alphabetical order by name.

Why anyone would use anything as a default aside from Alphabetical and/or Date Of Creation is beyond me.

This needs fixing ASAP.

Yeah, at least, the List of MDLists should be ordered in an Alphabetical Order. That's truly the least to be expected.

Not to say... Would be great to have an additional Sort feature to this List of MDLists, but then again, I understand that this use case could end up being an optional feature, as the majority of users may not utilize the lists as well as some of us do...

Mdlists are pretty neat for curated galleries, however, I'd like it if we could add more descriptions to it.
While the general gallery description could be put into the title, I'd prefer if it was possible to let that one be a representation of the list and have the more detailed explanation in a subdescription, for those who care enough to read it.

The other thing I suggest here would be the ability to give the individual series their own description only viewable from the MDList, being able to show more detail on why it'd be on that list, if you go by thematic lists rather than strict genre ones.

For example, I have some lists where the name fits quite well, but certainly could use a bit more explanation.
Also, while forum comments could be used for the individual comments, they both aren't visible from the list and might not work without the context of the list it is for, which is why I'd say it would fit a niche unfilled

I second your suggestion. also it will be very easy if there is a browse section for Manga List and display that as a recommendation after we finish reading a series like in the old version of MD.

Please could you add assortment options like the highest rating, highest follows, latest upload etc
It'd be nice to be able to search MDlist(yours and others that are public) like you can search MD's catalog, by title, mangaka and tags

"The "sort by" options are kind of barebones when you want to get back to that one manga you remember liking and following but forgoten about ever since
Filter by demographics is a planned feature but it doesnt filter by things that are actually usefull(again title, mangaka and tags) isn't, which I find is kind of silly. There are plenty of josei and shonen manga that have more in common with each other than with other manga that's supposedly for the same demographic
" ( copied from a user)

Things are ok for lists containing around 100 mangas but it's different for lists containing 1000+ manga, it takes a lot of time to look for the required manga

Please consider this MD staff

If you mean like adding descriptive notes only viewable by the user who added the manga to their library, I heartily agree!:meguu:
Sometimes I don't know the title by memory and when the cover image changes I have a hard time recognizing a bookmarked manga with just the uploader's descriptive summary and titles.

Sorry, but no. I meant it as adding Notes that can be read if looked at through the MDList.
Yours would be an entirely seperate thing
