mchahn 16 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I had about a hundred shows in a collection. When I viewed a series it showed the collection near the bottom of the page. On that collection was a menu item called delete. I clicked on that assuming it would delete the show from the collection. Instead the entire collection was deleted which was a disaster. Rebuilding that collection will be virtually impossible. In any case, a menu choice to remove a show from the collection would be nice. Or sorting the series in the collection page in alphabetical order would improve the situation. Right now I have to scan all the shows which is a pita. Please make removing a series from a collection easier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37071 Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 HI, yes it makes sense. Thanks for the feedback. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Happy2Play 8282 Posted January 31, 2023 Solution Share Posted January 31, 2023 A bit confused as Delete is Delete and Remove from Collection is Remove from Collection. But 4.8 does add some sorting options within Collections. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said before it is painfully hard to find an item in a collection with no alpha sort. However, I see that you said I can sort in 4.8 so I will try that.

But 4.8 will have a Title order. Edited January 31, 2023 by Happy2Play 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchahn 16 Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 What is a provider Collection? I only have the normal custom. So 4.8 won't allow alpha sorting? If so then this feature request is unresolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mchahn 16 Posted February 1, 2023 Author Share Posted February 1, 2023 I'm sorry but I'm still confused. Did you say that custom collections can be title sorted in 4.8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Collections items can be sorted by Title in 4.8. IE no different than any other Library items. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchahn 16 Posted February 1, 2023 Author Share Posted February 1, 2023 (edited) Thanks. I will try 4.8. EDIT: Works great. Edited February 1, 2023 by mchahn short follow-up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8282 Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Personally, the original post you marked would be the correct answer as Sorting has nothing to do with the Title of this topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchahn 16 Posted February 1, 2023 Author Share Posted February 1, 2023 Sorting effectively solves the original problem since it is easy to go in and find the series. Before I had to scan over a hundred series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgworek 121 Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 It would be nice from a show or movie screen to be able to remove it from a collection. Having to go into the a collection and remove is a pain. Recently I have been making collections for shows for different days of the week. We do theme nights. Once a show is watched once, I want to remove it from the collection. I can easily see the show in next up and click on it but can't remove it. I have to go into the collection to do it. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
