Guest topbanana Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) Now that the SortRemoveWords hack doesn't work, can we please, please just have Sort by 'Filename/Path' added to the sorting options! It's such a simple and obvious feature.I need to change the sort order to match the media files on the filesystem. But Emby sorts the titles ignoring the articles, A, An, The... Which is entirely valid, but we need to switch between either. Emby was created to help us wrangle huge numbers of media files, sorting data is such a basic feature! Please!

Luke 37022 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 it should still work, it's just that you're going to have to refresh metadata on existing titles after changing the config file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest topbanana Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 I did the refreshing, and it does work thankfully. Not sure how long it took, i was afk after i set it refreshing.But.This remains an obvious missing feature.This should be a just a simple case of picking a different sorting option.We should be able to instantly switch between the default Title sorting or sorting by filename to match all our media files on our disks.Just as we can to sort by Parental Rating...Anyone checking, maintaining, organizing their media files would benefit from the option to sort by filename such that the order matches what they see.Why do we have to frig with the config files to hack this, and wait for a lengthy refresh, requiring a net connection.We have spent all our computer lives with the sort order of the file systems, a basic, bog-standard alphanumeric order, everyone knows it. yet we're not allowed to sort our media with the same order.Please add this tiny detail/option..

Luke 37022 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Yes sorting by path makes sense. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest topbanana Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) Can we have a guesstimate when this sort order might be added? Edited October 5, 2018 by topbanana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Luke 37022 Posted October 5, 2018 Solution Share Posted October 5, 2018 It's planned for the future. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
