[UX Refinement / Proposal] Replace horizontal book tabs with drop-down selector and add sorting options in Android clippings view

[malv-ryx]

Context & Problem Statement

In the Android app, clippings are currently organized into horizontal tab headers for each book.

When a user has multiple books (e.g., 5 or more), these horizontal tabs stretch far off-screen, requiring tedious horizontal scrolling to find a specific title. Additionally, the tab sequence lacks clear organization or customizable sorting.

User Proposal & Suggested Enhancements

1. Drop-Down Book Selector:

   • Replace the horizontal tab navigation bar with a clean drop-down selector (similar to the web app layout), allowing quick jumping between books without horizontal scrolling friction.

2. Sorting Options:

   • Introduce a sort menu to let users organize books/clippings by customizable criteria, such as:
     • Date Created / Clipped (Newest to Oldest / Oldest to Newest)
     • Book Title (Alphabetical A–Z / Z–A)
     • Recent Activity (ex: edited)

I believe this is already fixed and simply Android needs to be updated in google play. I'll get it pushed up
