Suggestion to improve customization of collection order

[AngelSing 33]

Greetings,

It would be fantastic to organize the movies within collections in chronological order based on the story. If there were at least an option to sort them by "added on," it would be possible to arrange them manually. Unfortunately, collections currently lack options to customize the order of movies, which limits this functionality.

I hope you can consider this suggestion for future updates.

Thank you for your attention.

HI, yes we can add date added there. Please note it would be date added to your library, not date added to the collection.

That's great, thank you so much! As long as it's possible to organize by a date, the order can always be adjusted by accessing the metadata. I believe the "Added On" option should not be missing from any section, as for me, it's extremely important to view everything in chronological order. Once again, thank you very much for your attention.

Since this seems to be the newest question about getting collections in Chronological order, I tried using date added, which works if a movie is only in one collection.  However, to have  a movie in 2 collections or more makes this more difficult. I have changed dates to make this work, but I am sure this could get quite complex depending on how many collections a movie might be in.

I guess a custom order manually would be the most appropriate at this point.
