Sorry if this is not the best place for feedback, but here’s another thing that came up:
Because the data in .Site.Data.bookshelves has the shelf name as the key inside of the map, I can’t sort it (see this post-- sorting results in key elimination.
I’d like to be able to sort on shelf name, so would it be possible to have the data structure changed a bit so that the shelf name was accessible for each element in the map?
To give you a sense of what I’m working on, I basically want to create this page, ordered and with “formatted” names with Currently Reading on top and each year below. I’ve gotten pretty close with this template:
{{- range $shelf, $bookshelf := $.Site.Data.bookshelves }}
{{ if ne $shelf "finishedreading" }}
<h2 class="bookshelf-name">{{ $shelf }}</h2>
<div class="bookshelf">
{{- range $bookshelf }}
<a href="https://bookshop.org/a/{{ $.Site.Params.bookshop_affiliate_id }}/{{ .isbn }}">
<figure>
<img
class="bookshelf-book-cover"
src="{{ .cover_url }}"
alt="{{ .title }} by {{ .author }}"
width="150"/>
<figcaption> {{ .title }} by {{ .author }}</figcaption>
</figure></a>
{{ end }}
</div>
{{ end }}
{{ end }}
and I’m just thinking through how I’m going to format the shelf names and get the order to my liking.
