When I navigate to my Movies collection in the web app I see that my movie collections (I have it setup to auto-group collections) are sorted first and then individual movies are sorted second. I confirmed this is the behavior by checking out API call which sorts by IsFolder and then SortName.

 

I find this a bit confusing and prefer to have the collections sorted within the individual movies. Is there a configuration option to change this?

 

Thanks!

Is this an unset library type?

 

That type of sort would be used for situations where you have organizational folders.

Nope, it's a simple Movie type collection.

I did notice that the CollectionType of the item isn't set and it's being set in a property named OriginalCollectionType.

Yeah, I saw the changes you made.  This sounds like some sort of legacy thing as I don't know what that property is.  We will need Luke to weigh in on that.

You have your collections as physical folders with movies in them? You didnt use the auto-boxset plugin or the servers grouping tool?

No the collections are not physical folders. The Auto-boxset plugin is grouping them.

I had this happen too, when the server updated versions. I ran a library scan, then ran the clean database task and the problem solved itself. You should be able to do the same thing.

To me this sound like the per user legacy Plainfolderview.  Can you post a screenshot of Movies view.

When I get a chance I will. But I can definitely see it being a regular folder view. In my Movies view for example there are no Latest Items and things like that.

Okay, If it the issue I believe it is you will have to shut down your server and manually edit your user config.xml (C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Emby-Server\config\users\"your userid").

 

Example here

 

You need to delete the strings from "PlainFolderViews".

 

Remove </PlainFolderViews> and change <PlainFolderViews> to <PlainFolderViews />.

That did the trick. For those interested here's the JSON representation after the adjustment:
