I wish there would be a method for sorting within a collection (other than alphabetical or release date) that didn’t affect how the movies showed up outside the collection. ---

At the minute, it’s only possible to sort collections alphabettically or by release date. Anyone know of a way of custom sorting a collection without affecting the main library sorting? This would be possible if more collection sorting options, i.e. fully customisable sorting, were added. ---
