Shelf Sorter for Goodreads

Sort Goodreads shelves and lists by number of ratings, average rating or weighted rating. Not affiliated with Goodreads or Amazon.

Shelf Sorter adds a small "Sort books" panel to Goodreads shelves and lists so you can order the books the way you want: • Number of ratings – the most widely read books first • Average rating – the highest rated books first • Weighted rating – average rating adjusted for the number of ratings, so a book rated 5.00 by two people does not outrank a book rated 4.4 by a million How it works 1. Open any Goodreads shelf or list (My Books shelves, Listopia lists, genre shelves, author book lists, search results). 2. Click "Load all pages" to bring every book of the shelf or list onto one page. Progress is shown as "Loading… 400 of 1,234 books". 3. Choose what to sort by, and high-to-low or low-to-high. Each book gets a small label with its rank, average rating, number of ratings and weighted score. A "How this works" link in the panel explains everything below. About the numbers (Example "1,249 of 100,000 books") The second number is the total that Goodreads itself states for the shelf or list. The first is how many books were actually loaded. Goodreads shows only the first pages of some lists: genre shelves stop after 25 pages (about 1,250 books), even when the shelf has 100,000 books. The extension can only sort the books Goodreads shows, and it tells you when a list was cut short. A book that appears twice is counted once. Weighted rating formula (v × R + m × C) / (v + m) R = the book's average rating, v = its number of ratings, C = the mean rating of all loaded books, m = a minimum number of ratings you can set (by default the median of the loaded books). A smaller m lets less-rated books rank more on their own average; a larger m favours widely rated books. Privacy The extension works entirely inside your browser. It collects nothing, has no account, no analytics and no ads, and sends no data anywhere. It only reads the Goodreads pages you open. This extension is an independent project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Goodreads or Amazon. Goodreads is a trademark of its owner.
