Hi All
I was hoping there was a way I could order my playlist (all the DC tv shows) into date aired. Does anyone know how/if its even possible?
Thanks

Create a smart playlist.

  1. Add the shows you want in your playlist to a single collection, in your TV show section edit the show (with the pencil icon) and select the Tags option on the left then enter a Collections tag (in this case you could make it ā€œDC Universeā€). Save those changes and do the same with the rest of the shows.
  2. In the TV shows section, change the view mode from Shows to Episodes.
  3. Apply a filter for the Collection you added earlier. From the side bar (hamburger menu) hit the New Filter option, choose Collection and then chose the collection you want.
  4. Go back to the root of the side bar menu and change the order to Air Date.
  5. Hit the Add To Playlist button in the sidebar.

You now have a playlist ordered by air date that will update automatically when any content in this collection is added or removed.

Thank you Zoidberg you are a legend. Iā€™ll try this when I get home. Thank you very much. You saved me a lot of click and dragging.

Too bad it doesnā€™t work with music.

Air date sort doesnā€™t work by episode. Even when viewing episodes and sorting by air date, plex will still group by show. Sorting just doesnā€™t work by air date.

With a slightly different approach, it might work for you:
