Sort not being respected

[Theodore 136]

Version 3.0.5781.1

 

In the last server update (or 2 - I can't remember for sure) the sort for media folders is not being respected. When I setup MANY versions ago, I entered the edit mode for these folders and configured the sort name to "1_Movies, 2_Television, 3_Music, 4_Collections". These tags are still there, but are not being respected by either the web client or by WMC. Instead of my preferred sort, Collections is on top of the list. The ability to customize little things like this is important as the ability to accept the defaults or make Emby your own is what set it apart from the other services and made it so much better.

 

Also somewhere in the last couple of updates, the homepage doesn't refresh for updated information (like marking played) as quickly as before. For example I watched a movie from the home page last night and marked it played as I started it. I went into the description then clicked back to the homepage and it was still showing even though I have enabled "Hide played content" in settings. 2 hours later I did the same thing - 3 times - and the title was still there. It wasn't until I completely closed the webpage (using Chrome) and re-opened it that it acknowledged the "played" status.

 

Also, on these folders the "Edit" is missing from the 3-Dots menu. I can still change things like description by going through Metadata Manager, but it is annoying to take the extra steps and only get Edit Images in the menu

The order of library items is now controlled within your settings instead of with sort names.

 

User icon->Settings->Home Screen Options->View Order

That did it for the first part, thanks!

 

In case anyone stumbles across this and needs it, I use multiple accounts: one for each of my family and a generic one for WMC to login to automatically. I logged into the web client as that generic account and changed the display order on too WMC.
