Diedrich 355 Posted April 30, 2021 Share Posted April 30, 2021 I would also like to see all the sort options that are available in the main library to be available for sorting while in a collection. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAverage92 3 Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 (edited) I am also very interested in having a custom sort in collection. I am trying to replicate collection like AFI top 100 movies and presently you can't. Playlists are not convenient because when you click on a movie, it does not display the info but start the movie. By the way, what is happening when you create a collection, then move a file of the collection to a different storage place (e.g. from HDD1 to HDD2). Is it deleted from the collection.xml file? Also, is there a tool to convert a playlist.xml into a collection.xml? Edited May 7, 2021 by JoeAverage92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so not intuitive since this feature is an icon in the libraries view. It would be helpful to treat indiviual collections as a library (in respects to the GUI and what the user sees) rather than a unique item. I'd like to see the icon indicated in my screenshot below included in the GUI of the individual collection's screen, please. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBSki 1019 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 In addition to the sorting, I'd really like to see the grouping by media type brought back to collections. The only place the grouping is available is in the Android TV app, but the others need it too. @Luke Please bring back the grouped view as an option.

Happy2Play 8292 Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Sort Title covers Star Wars though depending on the naming scheme. But yes alternate sort order is needed preferably a drag and drop order. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBSki 1019 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 @Luke The first option in the sort menu is Collection Order. What is that? Just the Aired, Absolute, or DVD sort in the metadata? And I don't quite understand sort by Album and Artist. What is it supposed to do in a mixed collection? here's what I'm seeing. I have 2 artists in the collection, and those are the only items that sort. the others are random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MBSki 1019 Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Just now, Luke said: Did you try it? It's just like sorting any other list by album or artist. You did see my picture right? Since you can put anything in a collection, the sorts that are available are a bit confusing. They dont always sort. So if you pick Album with only 2 albums, and the rest are movies, what's the logic? It seems like the albums movie to the front sorted by Album title. The rest are what? Random? Or are they supposed to use the default order? The view could use a tweak if it's just going to sort what's relevant to the selected sort. Frankly I'm not sure putting Album and Artist in for sort makes any sense. It would only make sense for an all music collection. And even then I'm not so sure.

LOL, right, I know I don't have to use them. Can you please explain the logic for a mixed collection? How are the non Album items supposed to be sorted if choosing the Album filter?

Items that don't have those values will generally all get thrown to the front or back of the list depending on the sorting. It's the same thing as sorting movies by year when half the movies don't have the year filled out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
