Even if possible - and I am not sure of that - this could be potantially confusing. I do have publications with the same title which are nevertheless completely different publications. In fact, ever since I switched to biblatex and started using the subtitle field more often cases where the title are identical happen more often than before (admittedly still nothing very common, though). > > 2.

Besides the approaches you already mentioned, you could also sort the columns accordingly in the main window. Having all these different options to accomplish what you want I don't see the necessity to expand the left side bar which in large bibliographies can be quite long due to many keywords. As the developers mentioned a few times that they try to avoid creating more features that just do the same as other features used to I expect they won't be too enthusiastic about this request - but I am sure they will reply themselves. > > Finally, I am just putting these requests here for discussion.
