Care to elaborate?
They probably mean a custom sort order where you can freedly drag and drop your entries from one position to another and it stays in that position.

It's what I mean
Before, in the settings it was possible to do this, it was much more practical.
I believe it should be possible to use some implementation of https://github.com/aclassen/ComposeReorderable for the drag/drop. Then in the library tab when the user is in selection mode, an option in the topbar for custom order could be added. This will allow the user to drag/drop instead of select more items and the order idx will be stored in the library item model. Finally a custom sort option could be added in the settings dialog.

Yes, this was omitted when the screen in question was migrated to the new Compose UI framework. My personal guess is that it would have been a nightmare to properly implement.

That looks promising but as with every feature for Mihon, someone will have to take this up and PR it in order for it to happen 👍 Thanks for the research and recommendation
