Other details

When adjusting the order of comics, the chapters are rearranged as well. For example, the first and second chapters of comic "a" and the first and second chapters of comic "b" are originally ordered as a1, a2, b1, b2. After the order is adjusted, they become b1, b2, a1, a2.

Did it ever work before?

I just reverted to the 'Komikku-arm64-v8a-r9312.apk' version, and still can't adjust the order.

There has never been any ability to adjust merged entries order yet. Why do you need to adjust order?

The symbol in front that looks like ‘=’ generally indicates that you can press and hold it to adjust the order.
I usually use the ‘merge’ function to combine serialized manga, either by parts (such as Part 1, Part 2) or by seasons (such as Season 1, Season 2).

The order matters for the "Dedupe by priority" mode, and so it lets you set up the "priority". I just checked this and it is orderable only after selecting the "Dedupe by priority" mode and not the others. It is not very intuitive because there are no visual clues of this activating option, so this could be improved. The function though works, as in latest preview build.

@RejectVanity please read my comment above if you did not and you find out it is working.

That is only to adjust the priority of removing duplicates, not to adjust the order of comics (in other words, chapters).

@RejectVanity as I understand the Merge function has been designed to fuse sources together to fill the missing chapters void, and so it makes to have this option for deduplication, why would you want the same chapters of more sources stacked like you described instead of just having multiple entries?

It's like doubling the number of chapters for a Manga.. Imagine to track this entry.. It's also against every sorting logic currently implemented.

My idea is to merge the entire series into one book (e.g., Season 1, Season 2...), as some works are serialized in parts. I believe this should be considered a feature request, not a "bug" report.
