I tried creating a sub folder under Movies called James Bond. I have the actual movies each with their own folder with the correct name under James bond.

Plex donāt want you to have this functionality even though plenty want it Iām afraid.
Plex donāt watch boxed sets. Plex knows what is best for you. Trust them.
Plex currently has no way to do this. There are a few existing requests for this. As a Plex Pass owner, you can add your vote by clicking āLikeā on the first post in this thread.
According to @elan, those that come to the forums to request things donāt have the pulse of the rest of the Plex user community. He says heās get metrics that show about 5% of the entire Plex community hits the forums. And those that vote for Feature Requests (In the Plex Pass Feature Requests forum) are closer to 1% of the entire community. So it doesnāt make sense to add features based on the input of that 1%, because they donāt know how the rest of the Plex community uses Plex.
So what we want isnāt the priority the Team does development work on. So even adding a vote to any features in the Feature Requests forum (Pass Members only for that forum) doesnāt mean much of anything. Flawed logic, but hey, he can warp the statistics how ever he sees fit. Itās his sandbox. I guess those of us on the forums are here to play with the kitty treats in itā¦ 
The Team wants to work on things that arenāt āBoringā and Feature Requests donāt qualify as āNot Boringā. Things like DVR, Plex Cloud or NVidia shield are more exciting, even if they arenāt fully functional. You know, basically anything other than what the users wantā¦
So if you and your other Plex friends want a feature, I can only suggest that you get involved and make your wants known. Get active on Facebook, on these forums and vote up the feature requests you have access to. Until the community bands together to make their wants known by a vast majority, then itās all smoke and mirrors. (And trust me, Iām not advocating anyone get a Plex Pass just to get access to that forum. Itās not worth the investment anymore. If I werenāt already a Lifetime Pass member I would have canceled a long time ago.)
I put my bond in a seperate sub folder as wellā¦ since its beyond even a collectionā¦
The trickā¦ make it its own libraryā¦
You can have content in multiple libraries ā¦sure you will get duplicates but heyā¦ it works
In my setup I have an all movies folderā¦ that is the folder that gets added to the movies library
I create a bond library and point it at the bond sub folderā¦ works great and I. Have that libary sorted by release dateā¦ so they are in the proper watching orderā¦
Of course i use openPHT because PMP still sucks after 2 years of developmentā¦
So the way I have it ā¦ the bond movies will show up in all movies AND in the bond libraryā¦ if you have the sub folder for bond out of the all movies folder you can have them on their own, no duplicatesā¦ but againā¦ its only duping the metadata, not the contentā¦
Have funā¦ as plex flounders with what movie watchers wantā¦ next feature up ā¦ is I am sure generation snowflake cant live without a social media connectionā¦ expect some facebook garbage to show up next. Even though the program cant play movies wel anymoreā¦
Just the way plex rolls these daysā¦
The Dueling Banjo Horizontal Mambo necessitates the need to keep libraries under about 250 units (actually at 150 I start thinking up names for the new library). My: āBond, James Bondā library has been a big hit for a couple of years now.
Apparently OpenPHT allows a vertical grid list of library items 'cause if you had to try to find something while being shot out of a cannon on a horizontal trajectory towards a bullseye painted on a brick wall youād be lowering the item count in your libraries too (yea, a ādeveloperā will show up soon to ask why I donāt just use the alphabet soup list like they do - and Iāll repeat those letters are about 3 pixels tall on my 32" screen across the room and are āinvisibleā - just like whatās written on the posters).
