We have hundreds of books and dozens of Collections. Is there an "automatic alphabetize collection title" function? It would be such a help.
Thanks,

I would like to know about this too.

I may not be popular for saying this but collections were never meant to be a replacement for tags and their UI reflects that they are only meant to handle a relatively small number.

We use collections much like libraries use catalog subjects. For us, tags are 'related' topics. Thanks.

Would love to be able to alphabetize my collections.

You can, but you would have to do it manually (through edit collections)

How about your actual books? Are you guys labeling the spines? If so, where do you get the labels, are you writing or typing them yourselves? I'm working on a library for a quilt guild. All books are about quilting, but some are fiction. And we need to have an address on the bookshelf so we can find the book.
