Ability to sort/filter reading log by availability

Open Porges opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

Describe the problem that you'd like solved

I have over 700 books in my want-to-read list on my reading log and I'd like to be able to filter them or sort them by availability on OpenLibrary.

Proposal & Constraints

Ideally I'd like to see books that are available immediately first, then those with a waitlist (by ascending waitlist length?), and then everything else.

Additional context

@mekarpeles @cdrini This seems like a good idea. Is availability information accessible from a user's reading log? Would it be expensive to check availability for 700 books on one page?

You can now filter by ebook_access:[borrowable TO *] in the My Books search, e.g:

https://openlibrary.org/people/mekBot/books/want-to-read?q=ebook_access%3A%5Bborrowable+TO+*%5D
