Ability to sort library by file size? (not bitrate)

General Discussions Plex Features
1

Apologies if this has already been discussed (i did search but nothing came up).

Can anyone confirm if there is a way (either in current release or planned update) of sorting movie library entries by actual file size? For those with limited storage, the ability to determine which movies to watch in order to free-up the most free space would be a really beneficial feature. I know there is an option to sort by bitrate…but its not really the same thing. Current process requires my storage to be removed and connected to a PC and then scanned with TreeSize to list by folder size (which works perfectly…its just a bit of a pain)

Given Plex has to already interrogate the DB for the other sort options, the required metadata must be on-hand? Hopefully others would also find this feature beneficial and it’ll get included in a future update.

Thanks for such a great product :slight_smile:

You can use WebTools NG to export a CSV table with a plethora of detail info about each library.

You can then use a spreadsheet app (e.g. https://www.libreoffice.org/) to sort and filter this data to your liking.
