Sorting Set on PC, not mirrored on Roku TV

[Daniel1966 6]

I use Folder View.  I spent a considerable amount of time manually setting all of my movies to sort by Year.  I want to see oldest to Newest.  On PC it shows up correctly.  (1st PIC)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When I go to my Roku TV, the sorting is by Title.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was my understanding that whatever sorting you did on PC, it would carry over to Roku.

I know that in Roku, I can also manually change the sorting, but I don't think I am supposed to have to.

 

Any help appreciated.

Emby is up to date (Version 4.7.14.0).

Roku TV is up to date.

Defaulting a library to folder view is a global user setting, but I think all the sorting and filtering options are set for the user in each client individually.

I had this working before.  Roku used to match the PC settings.

Then I recently had a catastrophic system crash and needed to do a complete format and re-install.  

It is only on this new install that I am seeing this behavior.

You probably set it on the Roku way back then and just need to do it again now.

No.  Before, I only set it on the PC and then it was the same on Roku.

I am sure.

He's speaking the truth though. Those sort orders don't carry across devices.

Then my memory must be going.  Thanks for the help.

This just dawned on me.

I have six Roku TVs.  I am guessing now that I will have to change the sorting on dozens of folders, then do it all over again on five other TVs?

This doesn't seem right.  I have put in my vote on this feature request....

The sorting options for the same user should carry over for the same app (Roku).

The TVs talk to each other?

In a way.  The sort settings are saved in a location they both can access.  Give it a try.
