Alphabetical listing missing in plex web

Server Version#: 1.23.5.4841
Player Version#: Web Version 4.59.2

Hello everyone,

I just recently noticed that on almost all my libraries (movies and music) the alphabetical listing on the right is missing. Strangely enough, it’s only in plex web any other clients are displaying it just fine. Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Thanks! :slight_smile:

I’m on 1.23.5.4841 as well, which tab are you on? Recommended?

Locally and via Plex’s web app I see the alphabetical listing on the side in both the Collections tab and Library tab, it isn’t present in Recommended.

Also, how is the library sorted? The alpha bar only appears when sorted by Title in a Movie library.

Thanks for your answers!

I´m on library view and it´s sorted by title.

I just looked into the html code and found out, that even the element for the list is missing… Doesn´t sound as it would be easy to fix…

Library where it works…

missing…

Plex doesn’t show the alpha list until the number of items reaches a certain level. I think they figure it isn’t all that useful if there aren’t that many items. I only have about 30 movies in my library (I use Plex for music and photography, mainly), and I don’t see the alpha list either.

This really bugs me too!


974 listings to scroll thru! in this case
along with this we lost smooth scrolling on the listings and
Prime time jump to…

You are right! It definitely depends on the number of items in a library! I tried it today by adding media to the library and the magic number is 75. If you have more than that the alphabetical listing pops up. :wink: - I never thought that 60 movies are too few but well… Thanks!

Interesting, unfortunately, I don’t have any dvr library to try it. Are they even supposed to have the listing?

They are not, at the moment.

They did a few weeks back! Plex PLEASE stop going backwards!
and really 75 ?
Oh! just noticed smooth scrolling has been restored, thanks.
