there are no drag handles, only right click and move up or down

[StuBailey 35]

if everything is working as you planned, are we still supposed to be able to manually change the order regardless of filenames?

And you're seeing tag drag handles in Emby for Roku?

Tag drag handles are in the web editor and I see no tag drag handles, but you can right click on a tag and move it up or down. Actors still shows the drag handles.

The move up/down are showing by accident and so that will be resolved. Tags are essentially automatic alphabetical now, based on user feedback. Most users don't seem to want to manage tag order manually.

Actors are different and can still be ordered.

Just like I figured. Why would anyone need tags in alphabetical order? For me to add 4 tags the way I want requires me to do a lot of work renaming everything. I want 2 trailers to show first, then a movie short, the a B movie and then the feature plays. I'm working on it now so newbies can avoid moving 4 tags up or down. I'm adding a 0- prefix to my trailers, an A- prefix to movies shorts, a B- prefix to my B movies etc... Now if I want to use the same tags from the same category "b Movies" or Trailers, they will be in the same order and it is in the other feature film and the same tags, and to fix that I can make another folder with the same files renamed to another order. Simple! I'm being a bit sarcastic because I'm never going to wait for anything and I have fun making it do as I want. Renaming with  a prefix is simple.... but it's almost like starting over.

Well it's not like a genre where the first one is usually considered the primary genre, or a cast list where the first person would be the star actor.

Well I'm sure everyone wants things their way. One side wants automation and my side wants control.

OK please respond to my question in your other topic where I think we're having the same conversation. Thanks.
