Seems to be a recent addition to ttu.

It might not be straightforward to migrate to the latest version since there could be breaking changes.
To update the local build manually, it would require modifying the indexedb and adding the relevant timestamps. It would be incompatible with the data of current users of Immersion Reader.
How about alphabetical order as a stop gap until (if ever) gets updated to the last version of ttu? Is that hard to modify?
I know it's stupid, but the random order is really bothering me.
Well, we first have to define what alphabetical order means for Japanese book titles. Is it the localeCompare() in Javascript which separates the three writing systems when sorting, or do we sort based on the pronunciation of each mora based on a morphological analyzer like mecab,
Not to mention the sorting might be different for users with different language settings on their phones due to the behavior of localeCompare()
Also keep in mind of the possibility of English titles and "Chinese" titles.
I think it doesn't need to be that deep.
Right now I have 3 books with the same title only differentiated by the number and they are sorted like this Vol 3, Vol 1, Vol 2.
I would be fine if the series were together in proper order, even if they were not strictly in "alphabetical" order among them.
Since I plan to remove the ttu menu screen and only keep the custom screen for listing books in the upcoming version, I can save the reading sessions and sort them accordingly.
To give more context, the main menu screen fetches from the IndexedDB that ttu uses.
In the event that the main menu detects that a new book has been added, the new book will given the timestamp of the latest sync time and added to the embedded database. Book deletion will be synced similarly to the database.
Latest ttu version has been ported. No visible issues so far.

Update: there is a critical image display bug with the latest ttu version on the mobile browser, and I can't locate the core issue.
I've rolled back to an older version that does not feature sorting. I will update this when I re-implement this feature
ttu-ttu default behaviour is to put first the most recently open book in front.
This is not happening either in the home screen of the app, neither inside the ttu-ttu reather.
Current sorting seems to be by order of being added, not even alphabetical. So when you mass add books you get the random sorting sometimes.
