Expository Thoughts on the Gospels - J.C. Ryle

[Pastor Langley]

[ET_JCRyle] Expository Thoughts on the Gospels - J.C. Ryle - This is a book module that I am trying to be sure of builder, author. Any help appreciated. My 2026 challenge to organize all books in SwordSearcher by author and or builder. Nothing showed up on Forum Search today. Brandon has done this in SwordSearcher 8.1 release as a commentary. J. C. Ryle’s Expository Thoughts on the Gospels (4 vol. commentary) [RyleETG] Blogged here Blog Here.

Below is an attempt to do this. If any ideas out there for better organizing, please send along. Honestly, after downloading and filling up my book library it is not easy to track book modules by Who, What, Where, When, Why, Which, and How. And I do not consider I have that many book modules as compared some.

Rather than going through all that work to get them into the desired order why not just build a single "table of contents" listing that links to all the modules in the desired order? What will happen the next time an upgrade is released? It would seem that you might end up with duplicate modules under different names and you'd have deal with manual cleanup. I suppose you also would need to rebuild all new and upgraded modules you download since you want to use different naming conventions.

Great thought there Ken. My reasoning on seperation like I have them was that all modules created by each writer would always be in a "Module Set of it's own". ( I have found myself working and editing modules not my own, and did not like that. Even though it seems that most Forum Modules, are for us to do as we please. Out of respect, some are not in my opinion.) And those that are written as "non-editable" take that in consideration it seems.
There are other module sets so that I may seperate (work) on only editable modules and non-editable modules. This way my searches are geared toward a "direct set" of modules with controlled searches such as, both of the writer, editable, non-editable and other "critera".
At least in my 2026 organized mind will be fruitful.
Thank you for the comment. This is exactly what I am hoping for, so that I do not eat "rabbit stew" after so much work. This did not take too long to accomlish, going forward it will be easy to maintain. A TOC does sound tempting, but not sure if that would be a "search outcome only". It would not help in the "module set searches" that my plan is to accomplish, in reality.

If anyone thinks that my images or discussion is not fitting for the Forum, please let me know. I do not want to share anyone's "privacy" issue.
All of this is here on the Forum that I have used. Thank you.

Ah, I didn't realize you were doing this to more easily identify module sets to limit searches. Of course that could have been done with the arbitrary names they now have, but I now understand your goal. Organization and common naming conventions seem to be a worthy goal.
