"Filter All" option not fully functional in Plex Preview (Roku)

I was looking for this particular topic on this board but I could not find anything so I am submitting a report. At issue is the filtering feature under Movies. I have a huge movie library and the current (old) version of Plex on Roku does the following when searching a movie library:
Movies -> All -> Filter selection (e.g. Director) and once the director list is displayed, additional filter on the right is given in a form of an alphabet index so one can quickly jump to Ps or Qs, etc.

In the preview version I run today (ver 6.0.245269), it only goes as far as displaying a list of directors, actors, etc.). I do not have the jump list to As, Bs, Cs, Ds, etc. thus making this feature almost unusable if there are thousands of entries there.

Is this an omission and will you bring the current Plex (production version) filtering capabilities back to the Plex Preview (and future release)? It would be really a shame if it was missing. What you have is good for small libraries but not for those with thousands of entries.

It’s something that is planned to be added back. For now (though I realize it’s not a substitute) you can use the FF/RW buttons to scroll the list quickly (just in case you weren’t already aware).

Thanks. Appreciate it.
