Just a quick update I wanted to share with everyone. We've released improvements to the anime and manga lists that give users the ability to perform Advanced Searches and sort based on two different columns.

To access the new advanced sorting options, please click on the 'Filters' button when viewing any user's list as represented here:

This is amazing! Thanks!
Now I can actually sort by recently updated and stalk other people much more efficiently
(don't have to click on that more button to see when they updated their anime/manga info!)

Hmm , but now I have to actually add this functionality to my own list design or use the "modern style" in order to use it.

Oh wait. I can't advanced sort if they don't update their custom list design... is that correct?

Hmm maybe I can force it by changing the number the "order" or "status" is equal to in the url?

Edit: I can't seem to force sort by last updated (by making order=-5 in url) in profiles with custom design. Unfortunate, I should have guessed. It's obviously not in the code =/

Now I'm wondering if there will be any problems adding the code to my custom list design css. Ok holy shit that's a lot of code in the new list design, finding the relevant code for the filtering option looks tough. ..Is it not possible? Welp. That's just not how it works. That's not how any of this works. Sigh.

Doesn't exist in the old style list, but don't care as I still hold on to the old style anyways, in the future please don't force us to use the new style, let us have the option to keep it old-school. Unlike some people, others find it easy to navigate the old style.

nice, filtering by seasons seems useful to me
That's how I see like more than half of the MAL users with their "waifus", hentais, harems, weird-ass video games and all that shit

You should add to that something to filter the tags easier.... I can't see any other way to do that than actually pressing them.... I mean if I know I have something under x tag I need to find an entry with that same x tag in order to filter them......

Thanks for the update. Though this update kind of renders some tags I was starting to use useless now. Oh, well. Saves me time from tagging.

I'm sure you figured it out by now, but yes, you can get studios and a few other things to show from your list settings.

Yeah I just switched to the modern theme now so I could get it, now I just need to find a new idea to fit one of the colors for the theme. Really wish you could just change your colors freely like you used to, but I'm guessing it's still a work in progress.

Cool, the notifications work for blog comments too now? The watching topics is nice too, although I think I'll turn it off since I'm watching a ton of threads lol. Thanks for the update :) I like the filter too, but I'm going to stick with the old one for now (until it's no longer an option) because of the faster loading.

Nice. The modern list looks a lot more tempting now. A few more updates and I'll probably start using it over the old one.

You guys should make a "high priority list" in the plan to watch section. There are people with more than 1k animes in ptw, so it would be cool to see what their priorities are.
Ik in the filters has the option to search the priority but it would be nice like this.

Yeah, I noticed "Priority" isn't showing in columns even though the filter does organize it. Don't know if you guys plan to fix something that small, but it is an option that settings should change when checked. If you guys do get around to fixing it, I'd recommend adding the option to see "Comments" & "Re-Watch/Read Value" as well. I know some members like to treat there tags like comment boxes, so I'd say there should be something to separate the two. I know "Total Times Re-Watched/Read" isn't always used, but for those that do, it would be nice to show how much one enjoyed something if a Score of 10 isn't enough for him/her.

[Edit: So you guys made the "Priority" column exclusive for the PTW list and not the others. Sorry for not noticing, but why?]

Thanks Xinil!

One of things I like to do is see what shows I've watched over the past few months. The history only keeps the last two weeks, so sorting by last updated or finished / first watched date is useful (I'm getting better at remembering to fill these out).

Pretty good additions. However, I think some additional options would flesh it out.

For filtering, could we also get:
Type (TV, Movie, etc.)
Genre
Rating (PG, PG-13, etc.)
Tag (for ease of access)
Priority

Also for filtering, it would be nice if the title filter included the non-default titles as well.

For sorting, many fields seem to be missing. Some include:
Average score
Rank
Popularity
Number of times Favorited
Number of total episodes
Number of user votes

Finally, sorting by certain information isn't particularly useful without being able to see the actual values (for example, when does the rating transition from PG to PG-13?). I think this could be solved with a popover that shows detailed information, similar to the ones shown elsewhere on the site.

I hope you will consider these additions!
