Also… the feature suggestion you’re referring is still there, having some but not much support/votes.

> [@Sort collections by descending release date](https://forums.plex.tv/t/sort-collections-by-descending-release-date/405531):

> We already can soft the collection by title or by release date. When sorted by release date, the oldest item is first and the newest is last. Entering a large collection on TV apps needs you to scroll through all old movies to reach the newly added ones. Please add a setting in the collection preference window to choose ascenting or descending release date order. Thx a lot. PS: Maybe there is already a request like this. I searched a while but did not find this.

I suggest you vote/comment in that thread instead in order to avoid distracting/dispersing votes even further by having another duplicate suggestion.

PS:  
As BigWheel pointed out – as long as your collection is based on metadata information you can also use a Smart Collection which allows all kinds of sorting.
