Default sort behavior all movies / all tv shows

Hi there

 

Is there a way to change the default sort behavior within a "all section" (all movies / all tv shows etc.) on my ATV3? At the moment, all movies are sorted alphabetically - I'd like to have it sorted by the date added...

 

any ideas?

 

Cheers!

There is already a recently added shelf on the On Deck screen (i think it goes back 100 or more files).

I now... but I'd like to have the "all" sections sorted like that...

How would you remember/find where something was in a library with 100s if not 1000s of movies?

My use case is mainly referring to home movies / unedited clips right out of several cameras where the naming is like xxx_nnn.ext or yyy_nnn.ext

But you're right, with movies this will not make sense - but for photos and home movies it does (I guess)

So an option to set the default sort behavior for each section would be nice...

I don't think that we are going there...

Photos: collect them in folders containing the date?

HomeMovies: unedited? Why put them into PMS anyways? You might want to wait for the edited ones...

a lot of them are never going to be edited (e.g. clips out of photo cameras / smart phones) - I could go the way over "on deck" but the last 100 is too few, can I increase the number of items of "recently added"?

I would like to set the default movie sort order to date added as well.... would love a way to set default sort order in settings or per library.

+1 On these features. An option to set the recent items to over 100. Controlling the sort order would also be a nice addition.


Like C-lon, these are 100s of short clips from our camera and smart phones.

Hello,

I was able to sort “All Movies” by release year by performing a small hack.

Edited
/assets/templates/Movie/NavigationBar.xml

and changed the following line:
{{URL(key::/all:PlexConnect=Movie{{EVAL(’{{VAL($movieview)}}’.replace(’ ', ‘’))}})}}

to:
{{URL(key::/all?sort=year**%3Adesc**:PlexConnect=Movie{{EVAL(’{{VAL($movieview)}}’.replace(’ ', ‘’))}})}}
