Instead of alphabetical
Please allow for a custom sort order of library sections. Right now, I have about 10 sections, and since they show up alphabetically, "Concerts" is always on top. I seldom use this section, and it has very poor background/wallpaper/fanart associated with it, so the first thing I see is crappy screenshots of a section I hardly use.  
  
I'd like to be able to order my sections manually in PMS.

I’d like to see this too. It makes complete sense for it to be alphabetical by default but as I’ve added more sections I wish there was a way to custom set the order. This isn’t pretty, but my current solution is to place a . before the library section I want listed first, and a ~ before the section I prefer to be last in the list.

+1.  
  
  
  
I currently put a number in front ie 1 - Movies, etc. Custom ordering would be great.

Early 2021 clean-up: implemented (current-generation clients allow individual pinning/ordering of libraries)
