New API request: Book position

[Dave]

I have a long to-read list, and I often want to resort it to put the ones I'm keen to read soon at the top.

The current UI takes a long time to do that because we need to type in position numbers, so I decided to write a webapp using the Goodreads API to make drag and drop shelf sorting easy.

However, I quickly realized that the API doesn't support changing the position of books - I'd really like to get an API for that.

Thanks for the suggestion, Dave. We'll consider adding this in the future.

This is far and away at the top of my features wishlist. It seems there's currently a work-around, since books are automatically ranked in the order they are added to shelves, but blanking a shelf and adding everything back in the desired order isn't exactly a great solution. (Especially at one request/second)

Interesting... I found my way to the API for exactly the same reason as OP (Dave). Any progress on this? I don't see "position" as one of the available fields in the data accessible via the API.
