hierarchy and order in bookshelves list.

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

It would be very useful if the bookshelves list popup containing
 Folder lists order the list as simple tree list. As far as I understand the bookshelves are order as the folders alphabetically whee but it is quite difficult to navigate  when I have sub-folders. Because I have to slide so many shelves of the sub folders to get to the next parent folder and it is quite long if the first parent folder has a lot sub-folders. The shelves list popup menu is algae has the same parent folder - sub-folder sequencing and shows that in same manner.
I have a lot of books in physics and math, obviously there are enough 
sub-folders I made as the subsections for ease. when I access the want to use 
the shelves list popup for faster access to the section/sub-folder I want is 
difficult to see that folder at a quick glance. Sometimes it's more confusing 
as there are only names for the sub-folders without reference to parent folder. 
For example I have several books several volumes and in each volume they are 
separate files as each chapter. But agent in the shelves list popup it only 
appears as named volume 1 / 2 /3 it's rather confusing of which book series !
It is not a big issue if you have 20/30 books but when you have large book 
collection and use your tablet regularly mainly for study purpose then it's 
really gets inconvenient slowly.

What I am suggesting is that the bookshelves popup list can show names of 
parent-child folders as a simple tree list according to ordinal folder 
structure user creates in the storage. There can be a plus sign to hide the 
parent folders or to expand child folder list names as the use wants for 
specific folder just like we normally use tee list type folder menu in windows 
explorer.
I hope you guys would come up with better idea to faster navigation in 
bookshelves popup list.
Thank you for a wonderful software.

I just forgot to mention that the expandable/collapsible Parent-child based 
simple tree list model can be implemented in the library left side menu panel 
which is just a swipe.
