JulesC 44 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I have some Collections that I would like to sort the movies in chronological order. I have tried via Metadata Sort Order, but it only changed the sort order under MOVIES vs COLLECTIONS. Can this be done? If so, how? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8281 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) Collections have two sort order per Collection item metadata. Edited September 9, 2022 by Happy2Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesC 44 Posted September 9, 2022 Author Share Posted September 9, 2022 @Happy2Play thank you for your response. I see how this can change the sort to Title vs Release Date, but not clear how this can sort chronologically - I’m sure I’m missing something. Do I have to change the Tile Names within the Collection to achieve a chronological order or is it something else? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8281 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 @JulesC Pretty sure it would fall under this FR. As right now you would have to butcher Sort Names to achieve a specific order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulesC 44 Posted September 9, 2022 Author Share Posted September 9, 2022 @Happy2Play thanks again. That’s what I was assuming. Hope this FR gets enough attention by developers to be incorporated into Collections in the very near future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeVogt 0 Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 I agree. Sorting need to include two sort orders. One for TITLE and for RELEASE DATE. For example all batman movies, all star wars movies, all series should have the sort name like star wars and then sort the release date so they are in order of release. I hope someone is reading this. Emby is a fantastic tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to be able to sort any of my collections by either. "Release date" gets them in the order released while "sort title" gets them in the order I actually want as I use sort title to get things managed correctly. If you mean the order many/most people would want it watch in I use sort title for that Like all my Star Wars movies have sort titles like "Star Wars xxxx" where "xxxx" represents whatever order I want them in. It seems that Emby already handles sorting just fine. Unless I am missing something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amything 4 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 (edited) Collections are also used for stuff like Trending Movies. In which case the optimal sort order would be Date Added Descending so you can see what is new first. Would love to be able to do that via API.
