Add the new 4.6 Field Display Options to Collections

[Diedrich 377]

In 4.6 you added a few new field display options (community rating, for one (which I'm LOVING, thanks!)). This looks awesome in a standard movie library but as soon as you go to a collection you no longer have this display option. Could you add this new feature to collections, please? Not having it makes jumping between collections and the main movie library look very inconsistent and you visually lose UI continuity!

I'd love for collections to look like libraries. Tell me how many items are in it, give me those fields, let me have the alphabet selector if they're sorted by name, let me filter them, etc.

Completely agree. Collections are being treated as an individual item rather than a library (which they are most related to).

I think this might be an existing FR that matches what you're looking for: Sort and filter of the content of collections - Feature Requests - Emby Community.

I'd definitely like to see the ability to group collections by media type again as well (Group Collections into Music, Movies, TV, etc. - Emby Server - Emby Community). Luke took that away a long time ago and I've asked for it to be restored, but he just won't restore it. Maybe if we get more votes we can get the full set of sort, group, filter, etc added.

From a online metadata stand point for Collection I can see a the ability to choose a Community rating from the Parts, but from a custom collection stand point what would be used?

But looks like @Lukewould have to make some adjustments as the api and the Emby saved json don't appear to have the same info.
