Collections aren’t implemented to their fullest potential in Plex yet. I think what most people would expect (myself included) would be for a collection to show up as a single movie poster that acts as a container for the movies in that collection.
This way, you could group, for example, all the Star Wars movies together and not have them take up 6 positions in the list of movies.
I saw on the plex forums that this feature was requested ages ago, but still isn’t implemented, so who knows when/if we’ll see it.
Collections are mostly useless without it imo.
Here are the most popular forum threads, please vote yes
[Popular] Collection overhaul ideas (Notice: [Popular] I guest this means Plex has taken notice)
Users: “We want X!”
Plex: (only has Y and Z)
Plex: (redefines “X” as meaning (1/2Y+piZ)/A with a bit of B and C thrown in on every other Tuesday)
Plex: “We have X already! See? Aren’t we so wonderful? Enjoy!”
