GrimReaper 5214 Posted October 5 Posted October 5 Added movies to two long-time existing (automatic) collections today, sorting Collections library by "Date Last Content Added" desc. did not bring either of them in front - actually, switching between "Date Added" and "Date Last Content Added" does not appear to change sort order at all (at least on my system).
ebr 16966 Posted October 5 Posted October 5 Hey. The movies already existed in your library, right? "Date last content added" is actually "Date added of content". We don't actually track when something was added to a playlist or collection. In the case of TV Series, when the content was added to your library and when the content was added to the Series are the same because that's the only way the content exists.
GrimReaper 5214 Posted October 5 Author Posted October 5 (edited) Nor sure I understood all that: "Date Last Content Added" should be just that (exactly akin to TV Shows): date when last item in collection is added and Sort should reflect that, just as sorting TV Shows by same criteria (Date Last Episode Added) does, when new episodes added. I've just added two new movies to my library (which are part of two already existing collections) - it should've put those two Collections on top of the list, is what I would expect, else what's the purpose of introducing that sort method in the first place?

GrimReaper 5214 Posted October 5 Author Posted October 5 Just now, Luke said: so date last content added means date added to the library Added of what? Content/movie?

No, those were not pre-existing movies, just added and have today's Date Added. 53 minutes ago, ebr said: "Date last content added" is actually "Date added of content". We don't actually track when something was added to a playlist or collection. Got that now, as well. But as said, both movies/collection content carry today's Date Added. 19 minutes ago, Luke said: I would check the date added values for those movies. As visible above, It's October 5th, 2026 (today) on both.
ebr 16966 Posted October 5 Posted October 5 Okay, yeah, then I'm not really sure what is going on... 1
Luke 43479 Posted October 5 Posted October 5 You have to compare the date added values of all the titles in all of the collections, because it's more a question of what is greater or less than.

Not sure what you're getting at: all previous movies in those collections have Date Added lesser than today. If any of them had greater (though don't see how would that be feasible), wouldn't it (the Collection) already be on top of the list then?
Luke 43479 Posted October 5 Posted October 5 Well they at least need to be checked. I just tested adding a new movie with a collection and it is at the top when sorted by date last content added.
visproduction 378 Posted October 6 Posted October 6 Does rescanning the library help with the collection order being recognized?

Full library scan was done few times since (I don't have RTM enabled but I do full scan on any new media added), latest one done now, just for fun - no change. 18 minutes ago, ebr said: Or, perhaps, refreshing the collection itself...? Refreshed both collections following full library scan - no change. embyserver-63926899676.txt Also, after reading this: 18 hours ago, Luke said: I just tested adding a new movie with a collection and it is at the top when sorted by date last content added. went to check it on my test instance (incremental updates from early 4.9 version) - same result as my main server, no change when new content added to library. After that, downloaded and spun vanilla portable 4.10.1.0 instance - again same result, no change. So I don't quite get how did Luke got that result, as I can't reproduce it on either of my servers: main, test or clean portable (all three 4.10.1.0 versions). Edited October 6 by GrimReaper
Luke 43479 Posted October 11 Posted October 11 Quote as I can't reproduce it on either of my servers: main, test or clean portable (all three 4.10.1.0 versions). you can or can't ?
GrimReaper 5214 Posted October 11 Author Posted October 11 33 minutes ago, Luke said: you can or can't ? Can't, getting same (incorrect/ignored) sort on all three instances.
