Manually ordering read lists

[crank8877]

Is there another way to manually order the read lists than dragging to reposition? I've got a massive number of comics (500+) from across different series, and dragging to reposition would take forever. Or could I create my own reading list? If so, what is needed for this? The documentation says the following about information a CBL contains:

read list name
books contained in the list, in order
for each book:
name of the series it is part of
volume of the series
year of the series
number of that book in the series

But I don't know how to put this in a CBL. Do I create a spreadsheet with each of this info in columns and change the extension to CBL? I've looked at other reading lists, but they have an "id" field and I don't know what this references.

Any help would be great.

Not from the webui. See #1584

I thought as much. So seems the best thing to do would be to create my own CBL. Which brings me back to the second portion of the question, is there a guide somewhere for how to do this?

CBL is from ComicRack. You might better use the Komga API directly.

Forgive my ignorance, I’m completely new to all this, but how would I do that?

Komga has a REST API. If you know nothing about this then maybe the solution is not suited for you. You might better join the Discord server and ask for advice there.

Definitely over my head. I'll try the Discord then, thanks.
