scotsman 1 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 In my James Bond folder, I want to order them by year, so they appear in the correct order, oldest to newest. But choosing Settings > Sort > By Year, sorts them from newest to oldest. Is there a way to swap this so it lists from oldest to newest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porkbone 38 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Easiest way I found for my James Bond collection was to go into the web gui, open the Metadata Manager then expand Movies (or wherever you have the collection located). Expand the James Bond collection so you can see all the movies listed and change the sort name order in the metadata. Example: Dr. No would be sorted as James Bond 01 From Russia with love would be James Bond 02 etc... Don't forget to hit Save after adding the changes!

ebr 14910 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 In the main config pages of MBC there is an option to sort by year in ascending order. Select that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the neatest, but it will work. Thanks In the main config pages of MBC there is an option to sort by year in ascending order. Select that. So that's just an option to change the "By Year" view setting to ascending? it doesn't actually change the view itself? I just don't want it to apply to every folder, just the Bond collection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an option that was implemented quite a while ago in MB2 and it was done globally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logos302 86 Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 (edited) maybe box set should be treated differently, as it really doesn't make sense for them to be alphabetically. but maybe that is just me.
