!! Introduction
When Logos offers a selection of books in/from a Guide, a Tool, or the Context menu, they can be ordered according to /your/ preferences. This is where /Prioritization/ is used, otherwise Logos will determine which books /it/ thinks are best. The /categories/ of books that you can /prioritize/ includes bibles, commentaries, bible dictionaries, and lexicons.

It takes a little timehere to learn how to setup your Prioritization, but once done you will seldom need to change it.Notethatyou _do not_ have to prioritize /every/ book in a category.
It takes a little time to learn how to setup your Prioritization, but once done you will seldom need to change it (you _do not_ have to prioritize /every/ book in a category).
Be aware that /prioritization/ cannot be used to order the results of a Search (Basic, Bible, Morph, etc.).
\\
!! Order in the Prioritize pane
In Logos you prioritize books by placing them in a list in the /Prioritize/ pane of your Library(#3below). Booksareused in theordertoptobottom,where/top/ hasahigherpreference.
In Logos you prioritize books by placing them in a list in the /Prioritize/ pane of your Library. \\\\ {{$http://wiki.logos.com/media/Library5t.png?maxheight=200}}\\
Books are used in the order top to bottom, where /top/ has a higher preference.
Below is an example of using the right click Context menu to open a scripture link in a specific Bible.
If you use the right click Context menu to open a scripture link (or *Reference*) in a Bible, you will see a list of up to 5 Bibles in the same order as above. Some of the Bibles will not appear in the pop-up menu because they have a lower priority, or because they do not contain the reference.

\\
#. Logos will open a pop-up menu. \\ If you select *Bible* on the /shaded/ side of the menu you will see a list of Bibles on the other side. Notice which Bibles are shown, and their order. \\ \\ [[{{$ http://wiki.logos.com/media/Library5t.png?maxheight=200 }} >> http://wiki.logos.com/media/Library5t.png]] \\ \\
!! Features that are affected by Prioritization
#. In this case, they match the prioritized Bibles and their order in the above /Prioritize/ pane. Notice that some of the Bibles which are further down do not appear in the pop-up menu. This is because they have a lower priority and Logos only shows your top 5 Bibles.

#. You can use other /filter/ expressions for the other categories that you will want to prioritize:
#. Use *type:bible lang:Greek* for Greek Bibles.
#. Use *type:bible lang:Hebrew* for Hebrew Bibles.
#. For other filters see the wiki page [[A Sample Prioritize List]].
* If you want to insert category selection lines in the Prioritize pane, see [[above tip >> # PBSeparator]]. \\
* The /heading/ *-----Bibles----:* in the above list comes from a specially named Personal Book (PB). See [[this forum post >> https://community.logos.com/forums/t/54082.aspx]] if you want to have /headings/ for all your categories. \\ Note that you must recompile the /heading/ PB's for each installation (or *Upload* them).
