Just got around to assigning country details to all 4000-ish of them, and I'm nearly done. The sort would help immensely in spotting orgs I missed and/or errors in assignments.

Oh, and can we divide awards by the three types on org pages too?
Case in point:
https://www.librarything.com/award/organization/4/The-Guardian
There's no finding the awards and distinctions for the lists.

While we're on awards: A sort option of Date, Category, Order Label, Stage would be great. (cf. https://www.librarything.com/award/17095/El-vicio-impune-de-leer-Los-mejores-lib... )

Where do you want them sorted by country?

I would love that too.

>6 birder4106: Hierarchies (possibly collapsible) would be the extended ask, though it would encounter the complication of parent-child relationships across countries if both were combined in one view.

What are you thinking?
I would give languages an overarching hierarchy.
The relatively small German-speaking world (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Liechtenstein with approximately 102 million inhabitants, of whom about 90-95 million are native speakers) is particularly interconnected within the literary world. The situation is likely similar in other language areas.

>8 birder4106: Oh, I was referring to the existing organizational hierarchies. (For the most byzantine example: https://www.librarything.com/award/organization/5/American-Library-Association-A... )
But that doesn't show the full tree structure, since the view for each individual org flattens all sub-orgs and their respective sub-orgs (to however many levels) into a single list of child orgs, rather than preserve the structure. (ETA: And each org also displays its immediate parent org, if any. Here's an intermediate org as an example. https://www.librarything.com/award/organization/4868/American-Association-of-Sch... -- and one of its child-having children: https://www.librarything.com/award/organization/146/Pennsylvania-School-Libraria... ) The display is still embryonic, in other words. But it gets the job done for now.
Language groups of some sort might be a worthwhile idea, though.

>10 timspalding: Many thanks for that, Tim.
A side effect is that we will soon be approaching a point where a more robust regime of recording and viewing org relationships will be helpful. I'm just starting to piece together the tree of the International Science Council, and it's already becoming unwieldy. The relationships here are also of many different types and tend to branch heavily, so forcing single parents is an exercise in useful fiction that breaks a lot of connections. I'm doing my best.

Aand, if you look at it today, you'll see what I'm talking about.
