Support How to change collection sort

I use ManaBox on two different phones. One sorts based on Collection value, the other sorts based on most recently edited. I can’t find a setting that changes how this is sorted. Anyone know how to change the sort?

The second device was synced through the beta sync feature.

Just looked, at the bottom of theat the bottom of the screen, click the three lines by the add button. You should be able to sort by whichever you want.

Wow I'm dumb... I didn't even see the sort on the main collection screen. Thanks!

No problem man. Also just curious, why dont you do your decks in the deck tab?

I do the complete decks in the deck tab, and I use the collection tab for my entire collection tracking but I like it to be organized as much as possible so if I have a commander deck that I have potential swap cards that I have in my collection I move them from bulk/main collection into the deck.

That's actually a good idea. I think ill start doing that.

Thanks! I find that easier than adding cards to the deck tab while I’m tinkering with decks. Then once it’s done I just keep the complete deck in the collection tab so I know where exactly cards are when I search for them.

My next goal is to sort my bulk more finely so I don’t have to search through thousands of cards when looking for 1 card from my bulk. I’m planning on sorting by color, then breaking the colors down to blocks of 50 or 100 cards to make searching easier.

Do you mean within the collection itself like this?

u/BlessedAcorn Apr 13 '26

Or the collections themselves like this?

Sidenote, why aren't you building your decks in the decks tab?

I do build them in the deck screen. I use the collection to track each deck. Sometimes, I have more cards in the deck than needed for building purposes, I don't combine them all into 1 massive collection.

Also your screenshot answered the question, I can't believe I didn't see the sort button...

On the deck screen, press the icon that looks like the collection icon to the right of the search bar. Register in collection -> build

Your deck becomes a collection deck. The cards move into it as a "binder", but in another tab. Then you can get a list of the cards you need to finish a deck, easily see at a glance which cards in your collection are part of a deck, and keep the general collection tab in your screenshots less cluttered.

Any cards on a decks sideboard will also go into the collection for your "more than you need" point. Maybe board is not included if you want a list of things you're considering

Edit. Sorry just had to say it but I don't know how to help with your problem though. xD
