Bringing up an old thread... did this change/fix get put in? I just tried these and neither appear to order:

AND

Hi Nichole,

Thanks so much for the quick response! I look forward to the update.

I'm using the RSS feed for a shelf. I noticed if the shelf has more than 100 items, the feed will only have 100 in it, That's fine, but I can't figure out the algorithm it uses for which 100 to choose. I found a shelf from a user with over 1000 books on it. I can get the RSS feed to show different books in it if I change the parameter like the HTML page uses, but even doing that by setting pages, page sizes, etc. I still can't figure out how it is choosing the 100.

For example, I thought that if I looked at this:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...
which is sorted by title, first 100, that if I looked at the corresponding RSS feed I would get the same books, but not so:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/list...

Everything I have tried hasn't gotten me closer to figuring out the mystery of the RSS feeds. Any ideas/help?

Thanks!
