[Enhancement]: Add sorting option, including Randon sort, for Playlists and Collections

[ZLoth]

Type of Enhancement

Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

For Playlists and Collections, there should be a sorting option for the books that are in the playlist/collection to sort the books. Sort options should include:

• Random Order
• Name (ascending and descending)
• Release Year (ascending and descending)
• Added to library date (ascending and descending)
• Added to playlist/collection date (ascending and descending)
• Book length (ascending and descending)

No matter the option, completed books should be at the top of the list, followed by in-progress books, followed by unlistened books.

Why would this be helpful?

As currently designed, a playlist/collection is designed so that the latest added book to the list is at the bottom of the list. While manual sorting is available, it would be nice to have some randomness.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

This would be similar to the sort options in a library.
