Goodreads Drag-and-Drop Organizer Extension

I got tired of pre-2000 fashion of organizing my to-read list at Goodreads and made this. The extension does only one thing -- allows you to sort your Goodreads' books in a drag and drop fashion, saving your time and nerves on waiting for yet-another page refresh or trying to line-up the numerical order in your head. It's especially useful for organizing large read-lists (mine is still greater than have-read one).

Currently seems stable enough, but do mind that it was created in one evening, so all the bug reports are greatly appreciated. (You can contact me directly at [email protected] or through feedback form on marketplace). But please double-check with FAQ on extension popup in advance.

JEC (ID: 0000002562d6fe08) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 02/08/2023 this extension was last updated in 2016 but this still works as of feb 2023! make sure you read the instructions on how to activate and use this extension (left-click the extension icon in your browser). reload a shelf (e.g., "to-read") and then click Settings -> sort by Position -> Ascending order and then save it! then re-order a shelf and when you're done, just refresh your browser et voila! thanks for this wonderful addon!
