Now why you gotta keep taking my little scrolly bar thingy and movin' it all the way over there to the right side? I want my scrolly bar on the left side, and I want it to say there see? Seems every chance you get you take my scrolly bar and move it to the right and I've just about had it up to here with it! Why I oughta'... You leave my scrolly bar alone, see!

You just did it again! Here I was minding my business, repositioning a card, and then what do you know -- you went and moved my scrolly bar all the way to the right as soon as I had my back turned! That's a low blow, mister--a real low blow.

(Note: this could totally just be Anki's default behavior causing this rather than this addon, but it'd certainly be nice if the scroll bar didn't keep moving itself when performing various actions while the browser is open)

Vital but stops working

Vital but stops working

Fantastic addon

Thanks for the addon, it works as promised. Unfortunately I had to uninstall it cause my Anki started to crash randomly and quite often. It never happened before I installed the addon and doesn't happen now after I removed it. There is a bug somewhere but I couldn't reproduce it or catch a pattern when it crashes...

Same problem with the guy below

Phenomenal add-on, but it'd be nice if we'd get a down/continute arrow for other fields.

I can't see all available fields when I want to add one in the browser's tool ba

Thanks a million for this addon.

But there is a big problem:
I have several decks, and maybe 300 fields in total. But when I right-click on the "toolbar" (where there are the element you can chose to filter your notes), and select fields, a screen with all the filds listes alphabetically is displayed. BUT for me, this screen takes all my computer-screen, and I can't see the fields after "Kanki-conjugation". I can't navigate (with the arrow keys) through this screen either...
Let's see how I'm blocked with this picture :

Thank you for helping me :)

Adds Good functionality

And doesn't take anything away. Programming at its best. Sorting by any field is a goldmine in itself.

Extremely useful Add-on!
Posted on 2014-02-07

This is extremely useful and simple to use, and fully addresses my two top frustrations with the Anki browser:

1. Can now add/remove columns, including the user-defined fields (use right mouse click). Sort all columns just by clicking header.

2. Can store custom filters in the filter sidebar at left

Nice work! Both these capabilities certainly should be added to the vanilla version on Anki.

Just a reminder

After installing this add-on, you have to first manually add the "sortable" fields to the browser view, as the default fields are still non-sortable.

Functionality that should be core, well executed.

What more can I say. This add-on will make using Anki that much easier and more intuitive.

Perfect

Thanks for the great work. This saved me SO much time and effort. I agree that the developers of Anki should definitely make this a core feature of the program - it's pretty unbelievable it's not already. *****

Terrific Addon, should be a core Anki feature
Posted on 2013-08-23

This addon helps the Card Browser function as a useful Note Browser as well. It seems well written (wouldn't crash for me) and include what should be a core Anki feature: the ability to sort on any arbitrary field. Thank you Houssam Salem!
