Please consider adding a "Folders" view of the Onyx library to the "Scan mode", as the real files are located in the file system, with metadata displayed. This helps alot when many files are sorted into folders, there is no need to manually create bookshelves/collections, but still retains the ability to show not only the file names, but also metadata, filter and sort by this metadata.

There are now several modes in the Onyx "Scan mode" library settings - Detailed view, List view, Cover view, Cover-only view. It would be nice to add a "Folders view" there, to imagine in book scanning mode how they are actually located in the file system.

For example, sorting by series helps determine the reading order without reference to the file names.

  Dear customer,
  We are sincerely sorry that the Library does not support sorting books by series. However, we have forwarded your suggestion to the relevant department and will do our best to improve our software in the future.
  For now, you could create sub-folders in the Library and name them with the series of books. Then, you can move the books to the sub-folders to sort your books by series. Many thanks for your understanding.
