Lane03 14 Posted October 28, 2017 Share Posted October 28, 2017 (edited) Not sure when this started, but now when I go to "all movies" the collections are listed first and then single movies are sorted alphabetical. On the Android app and web browser collections are mixed in with other movies alphabetically (as it used to be on Roku). Any ideas on how to fix it on Roku?

ebr 14910 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Hi. What version of the server? Are you entering your library through the "Folders" option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lane03 14 Posted October 29, 2017 Author Share Posted October 29, 2017 (edited) 3.2.35.0. Not using folders view. Shows correctly in other apps, just not Roku. Edited October 29, 2017 by Lane03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldonnis 148 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I noticed the same thing and not sure when it started, but it's been at least a couple of weeks now. I'm also not using folder views and am running 3.2.35.0 as of today (just double-checked the Roku and behaviour is unchanged). I figured something got mucked up on the Roku but haven't had time to purge the channel and reload it to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 The app hasn't changed in a while so it must be a change on the server end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lane03 14 Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 Yeah, I have my server set to auto-update, so I think one of the updates triggered it - just not sure which one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Can you please test this with the beta version of the app. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy2Play 8278 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 (edited) Can you please test this with the beta version of the app. Thanks. Yes .52 appear to fix the issue on my system. I did see some collections first in .51 but not now in .52 Edited October 30, 2017 by Happy2Play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lane03 14 Posted October 31, 2017 Author Share Posted October 31, 2017 Fixed here on .52. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebr 14910 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 If anyone has organizational folders in a photo or home videos library, can you please test that the app still shows those folders first? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waldonnis 148 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 One other sorting-related thing I noticed.... Seems like sorting movies by release date always shows newest first instead of oldest first...and since the sorting isn't a reversing-toggle, there's no way to change this behaviour. It's especially noticeable inside collections with lots of sequels/related films (like X-Men or Alien collections). Web interface respects the collection metadata sorting and sorts them in ascending order. I think this got screwy in the Roku channel around the same time as the collection sorting changed. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lane03 14 Posted November 26, 2017 Author Share Posted November 26, 2017 I've noticed that too. Items in Collections on the web app and Android app are listed starting with the oldest title by release date and newest at end. This does not occur on the Roku app. I have some that are backwards and others that are all over the place. All of which are correctly sorted on other Emby apps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This throws the whole watch in order idea askew. A workaround I found is to use the "Sort Title" feature, which will then put them in the order of my choosing on Roku. What's funny is this setting is not respected by other apps and the web version of Emby. For example, if I sort Star Wars Collection by episode number using the "Sort Title" then it shows up as 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 in Roku Emby. In Android and Web Emby, it shoes up by release date 4,5,6,1,2,3,7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The collection has it's own saved sort setting that can be changed in the edit screen. it's the Roku app that needs updating to respect it.

So the "Sort Title" field isn't taken into account with Collections, only the "Display Order" is applied to collection sorting? EDIT: It appears the "Sort Title" is taken into account when the collection Display Order is set to "Sort Name" Edited November 27, 2017 by Lane03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37050 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 yea except now your all movies screen will be affected by editing individual sort titles. and other areas inevitably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lane03 14 Posted November 27, 2017 Author Share Posted November 27, 2017 I only have the collection show up as a single title in the all movies section. Sorting appears to be working correctly on Android and the Web, unless I'm missing something? Guess I'll have to test more once the Roku app is updated to respect the server settings.

nomatches4mikey 8 Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Looks like the sorting issue has been addressed in Beta, 3.0.57. Each collection has it's own sort settings, sort by date is oldest to newest now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
