How to alphabetize library as default

Plex Media Server
1

After rebuilding my PMS due to a disk failure, I re-added the movie and tv folders back to my library. The only problem is, I did not add them in alphabetical order and consequently when I load the client on the TVs, the libraries show in the order I had re-added them to the server.

I know I can manually reorder the items, but everytime the client is reset on the TV, or login from a different local user, I have to start the process all over again. I have 76 libraries, 5 TVs, 5 local users. That’s too much work!

The other thing I do not want to do is to remove then add the libraries and have to re-scan the libraries.

Is there any way to easily reorganize the default order of the libraries?

If the libraries are pinned they will appear in your sidebar. Once in the sidebar you can use the reorder function on each library.

This is also a known issue with at least one discussion thread about it.

@pandas,

Thank you for your comments. I did see a similar thread, but it appeared to be dead.

As I’ve stated in my original post, I understand we can reorder, but that’s just a pain-in-the-rear. This means I could need to move things around 1,520 times (76 libraries x 5 TVs x 4 local accounts).

Do you know a bug number?

Thanks @TeknoJunky. This patch fixed this issue. I did provide some comments regarding this new feature as well. I hope they decided to have an enable/disable mechanism.
