Collections sorting

[GrimReaper 5185]

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).

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.

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?

And he just said we don't track that, so date last content added means date added to the library, not date added to the collection.

Just now, Luke said:

Added of what? Content/movie?

I don't know how else to say this:

Today. 1 hr ago.

And I'm failing to understand what are both of you trying to explain me.

I would check the date added values for those movies.

Now I uderstand your question. No, those were not pre-existing movies, just added and have today's Date Added.

Got that now, as well. But as said, both movies/collection content carry today's Date Added.

As visible above, It's October 5th, 2026 (today) on both.

Okay, yeah, then I'm not really sure what is going on...

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 43246]

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.
