Is there any change that this functionality could be implemented in the future? It seems, at least to me, much better to order the works by opus number than by initial letter.

(edit)

I see now that there is a list of compositions by opus number, but it must be manually created and updated.

Ordering by opus number requires all of the work pages to be consistently edited. Even then, sometimes opus numbering for certain composers is fairly meaningless and bears little or no relationship to chronological dating. As you’ll have discovered, if there’s interest in treating a composer’s œuvre in this fashion, someone will have done a list, which will have to be maintained manually. There are also the (in some ways superior) type of lists which are done as sortable tables, which can be sorted in several different ways.

Yep, I understand.

I guess/fear at some point we would need some sortable list of Graupner to make sure we caught all his works from Darmstadt...
