This script was originally posted on userscripts by brightcopy. A mirrored copy of the old script can be found at http://www.webextender.net/scripts/show/100913 . This updated edition was made by Max Starkenburg.

Creates a sortable grid for the work editions list. By default, simple sorting is done by simply clicking on a column (and clicking again to reverse the sort). To improve readability, a line is drawn every fifth row. Some features explained:

Repeated text grayed: In each column, subsequent appearances of the same text are grayed out to help highlight different matches. When comparing variants for graying, it ignores case and spaces, as well as non-alphanumeric characters (e.g. "Apocalipsis (The Stand)" is treated the same as "Apocalipsis / The Stand").

Multi-column sorting: By clicking on the lightning bolt icon, multi-column sorting can be achieved. When in multi-column sort mode, numbers will appear next to the sort showing the sort order. The last column clicked will be added to the end of the sort order.

Search: Title, author and ISBN can be clicked on to open searches for each. This is most useful when clicking to open these searches in a new tab or window.

Separation: The last column contains and icon for the separation link. This link is changed so it can be opened in a new tab or window.

Revert to original: Above the grid there is a link to toggle between the grid and the original editions list. This allows you to see exactly what the original looked like.

Current ISBN highlighting: An additional feature highlights all editions with the ISBN of the book that you are currently looking at.
