Tried a few others which I could not get working, hence the creation of this for my use, which I have decided to share, hopefully someone will get the use out of it. 

 

Instructions

Open html page. 
Login to local server only, use http://ip:port
User & Password
These do not get saved, need to login each time. 

Your movie libraries should auto populate, check the libraries you wish to use. 

For first use, scroll down to the bottom and add your radar server/s if needed/wanted.
Every time you use this, after login, scroll down and click test connection and make sure the connected - radarr Version number appears..

SECTION INSTRUCTIONS

REFRESH PLAYLIST
Select a playlist that already has been made and is within your Emby server, below select the franchise that you wish to use to place movies in order, eg Marvel Movies you would use Marvel Universe to place movies in correct order by clicking refresh.
Result below will tell you the amount of movies that have been re-ordered chronologically.

Create New Playlist From Franchise
You can either search for a playlist or hit the search button and all available built in playlists/franchises will appear. 
Choose which one you want to create.
Create Emby Playlist will appear with username and option to sort by franchise order or release year, plus option to rename the playlist. Click create playlist and the new playlist will appear in your Emby server. 
Result will appear below, all movies shown in green have been added, any appearing in red can be clicked to send to radarr, if more than one server has been added then a choice of server will appear. 
Once radarr has completed, use the refresh playlist to add the movie to the playlist.


Manage Franchises.
Here you can edit or add new franchises to create playlists. 
New button obviously does what it says. 
Click on a franchise and an editor box will appear. 
Here you can add, remove or re-order movies. Once saved they become custom playlists and are placed at the bottom of the list with a custom tag next to the name. 

No data is sent externally 


Bugs
Sometimes it adds random movies, for example it adds RV to the end of the MCU, sometimes the movies all appear as green, for example Star Trek even though there will be missing movies. 
I had a bug where it sent a request to a 1080p server and it started downloading 4K. Changed settings within size limitations within radarr to stop that. IE maximised the min size for and 2160 files. 

Next update will include 

Option to make playlists from collections.
Auto reconnect to radarr.
Option to upload a csv file of more franchises.
Option to add playlists to other user accounts.



Disclaimer..
Fair bit of AI used to code the html page. Used as a learning tool for me.
