Is it possible in the Wordlist window to sort by hyphenation status or filter out all words that are already marked as correctly hyphenated?
Maybe this is a feature request?
(Background info: What I actually try to do. I have a hyphenation list from outside of Paratext for one bible. I want to use this list in Paratext for another bible. All words from the original list should be marked as correct, so that only the words that are specific to the new bible need to be reviewed.)

No, sorry. Paratext does not have any way to sort or filter on the Hyphenation column. Sounds like a feature request is needed.

Thank you for your answer. I sent a feature request.

It is possible to export the Wordlist to xml with the hyphenation info displayed, open that in Excel, and then sort the hyphenationApproved column.

For normal daily work, this new feature would also really help:

At the moment team-sessions get interrupted, whenever a new word is being added to the wordlist (like when the PT-DJ is asking the spelling-expert while typing and gets precious confirmation about the spelling of the new word):

Since the new entry would be lost amoung thousands of already treated entries, DJ will quickly jump to the word-list entry by right-click, do the hyphenation, also check and fix or confirm the morphology and return to the main text and the team.

So the team is getting some mini breaks, but sorting or filtering by hyphenation status and by morphology status would be helpful.

One could also take notes on bits of paper, which will later get lost or not worked off. Also paper does not do send/receive so far.
