Ah ok, I see. You directly changed the movie title. I tried secondary tags only because I wasn’t sure if changing the title has a negative impact on the automatic data retrieval of the metadata agents. Also I’d like to keep the original movie title for display.
Changing just the sort title in that case may be sufficient.

To ensure search works, and that the titles sort correctly, here is what it looks like.

Thanks, just changing the sort title works perfectly for the searching and sorting by other users. Nice workaround until we have some kind of shared collections or playlists.

Yes, but the collections tag is definitely not serverwide searchable, I tried it. Probably all the data in the tags section is not taken into account for user searches, but I didn’t try them all.

It’s not searchable but it is filterable serverwide. Go into Movies > Filters > Collections > Star Wars - collections should be searchable though IMO.
Yeah I know, but that has like zero usability for the average user. They just search for terms. Almost nobody goes into filtering (which isn’t even available in all clients).
Sure. Even easier would be playlists. Out of curiosity, what clients don’t have filtering? All the clients I use have it (Android/Android TV/Web/PMP/Kodi addon).
Personally I can confirm that the Amazon FireTV client has no filtering (that client seems to be an unwanted child anyway, it has so many bugs). A friend with a Sony TV mentioned that he doesn’t have filtering too.
Weird - would have thought the FireTV despite not being a proper android device would be running the same client as official Android TV devices. If the Sony TV isn’t an official Android TV then I can see that not getting much attention. Tons of the current/early gen smart TV’s are in the transition of having some crappy proprietary store vs getting upgraded to a full Google Play Store.
To me it seems as if some features are just not shown/visible when using a client on a device that is controlled by a remote only. Has not much to do with Android or not. I have 3 Android based devices here. The Plex client is looking a bit different and has a slightly different feature set on every one of them.
Hmm. Not sure what’s going on there. All Android clients should be the same and all Android TV clients should be the same from my experience. I have about 6 different Android \TV devices. All of them have filtering.

Search /’ filtering is of limited use since there is no way to edit cast members / actors
Without that filtering on actor is mostly a joke.
That request is 3+ years old and this request will be coming up on it’s 4rd anniversary soon…
Doesn’t that tell you something??
The feature request thread has hundreds on meaningful things that have been on ignore for that long and longer.
Even @elan double talks on all these issues.
@“Dom C”
Your original post almost 3 years ago indicated you were considering it. How long till the consideration I s over and this might be added???

Many people look the request more than necesary at the end of 2016 and this 2017, I hope some developer o Plex employeee look foward 
The ability to share playlists (even if it’s just admin controlled) would be a HUGE win for me, as I’m in the process of migrating my family from Spotify/iTunes to Plex for our music collection, and one of their most missed features from Spotify is “preset” playlists. I’d be happy to create and populate these playlists myself (Disney Music, Upbeat, etc.) if necessary, but Plex not having any mechanism for sharing playlists is pretty disappointing.

Hey. Please add the ability to share specific playlists between users
+1 would be very helpful for grouped music I am trying to share with users.
+1 From Me too - i would love this feature
This almost seems like a regression. My wife and I were able to view our local server’s playlists on our two iPhones. I purchased a Plex Pass just a few days ago so we can sync music to our devices. However, now that we had to create accounts, the playlists are only available to me (the server admin).
Is there at least a workaround for local access? Or is there a way I can copy the playlists. She can’t access any of the ones she created before I needed to add “friends” to support syncing. I suppose the only option is for both of us to use the same Plex Pass login? It is almost as if I’m being punished for buying the Plex Pass (except now I can sync…)
+1 for shared playlists.
