Advice on separating all movies where first listed Genre is "Horror"

Plex Media Server Metadata & Adding Files
1

I am trying to separate my pure Horror movies into a new library. Unfortunately when Plex looks for Horror genre it groups movies like “Midsommar” and " The Addams Family 2" together. Both have Horror listed as a Genre.

Using Advanced filters there are two options “Genre IS” and “Genre IS NOT” there is no “First Genre is”

How to only get movies that are pure horror without having to negate every other Genre in the list of Genres? Even Midsommar has “Drama” listed as it’s first Genre.

If I were to do this outside of Plex what tools would allow me to select only those movies with the first genre listed being “Horror” to movie them?

As far as Content rating goes, would love an option for “greater than” or “less than”

> PG-13 or < PG-13

Look for specific genere in position (x) of the genre tag list when searching media

I don’t think there’s a concept of “primary” genre in Plex.
I suppose you might get a better/quicker result by going through your files and simply moving the ones you consider to be “true horror”.
