Can we get an option for categories for our personal servers like you have in the Plex Public server. I’d love to have the ability (for my users and myself) to just browse a category like Horror, Action, Musicals without having to jump through hoops. Like in this pic. ![Plex](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/5/b/5bbb7f45d253087a44b7d2ea8d0350be3ce320c9.jpeg) ---

Sort by Genre? ![1](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/9/4/94da52481d50ebeeda748e0afdcb074681c96a12.png) ![2](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/plex/original/3X/e/3/e3761b6911ed28548f0b52b426ba5c3134f452f6.png) ---

No like in the image I provided. A quick jump to a category option unlike the current method which most people are unaware you can do. At least that way my users can just jump to categories and pick a genre they maybe in a mood for. Current method is too buried and most people don’t know it’s an option. ---

Afaik that already is the plan. ---

Beyond that little pre-announcement/teaser (??) from BigWheel… There’s already a number of feature suggestion addressing this – quite similar with slightly different aspects. > [@\[Feature Request\] - Pin/Save Filters to menu (dedicated items vs. sub-items of the original library)](https://forums.plex.tv/t/feature-request-pin-save-filters/543463): > > Ability to make “libraries” where its just a saved “filter” of an existing library. EX: Horror, or TV Shows - Networks(ABC). These are all capable by using the filters, but no way to easily save these. Sometimes using the TV the UI screens are very long and you cant “search” and have to scroll thru hundreds of options at time. > [@\[Implemented\] Feature Request: Save Custom Filters](https://forums.plex.tv/t/implemented-feature-request-save-custom-filters/187860): > > The new filters are great. I would like a way to save frequently used custom filters into the menu. > [@Quick Acces to Collections / Genres Etc. Suggestion](https://forums.plex.tv/t/quick-acces-to-collections-genres-etc-suggestion/152163): > > This suggestion builds on the terrific [collections overhaul suggestion](https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/152418/popular-collection-overhaul-ideas/p1 "collections overhaul suggestion")made by @truthfulie. His suggestion, however, lacks detail on how the user would get to his collections interface. I suggest an option within Plex settings to elevate some of what are considered Plex filters, (eg: collections, genres, directors and actors) directly to the main menu such that they could optionally appear along side playlists and libraries. See mockups below. As @beckfield so eloquently summarized [in the post …](http://forums.plex.tv/discussion/comment/1220084#Comment_1220084 "in this post where I originally floated this idea") > [@\[implemented\] Genre Section (like Library, Recommended & Collections)](https://forums.plex.tv/t/genre-section-like-library-recommended-collections/568873): > > One of the great things about Plex is the organizations. While there’s lot of ideas about how to best organize your movies, genre’s are a default part of Plex. It would be great if Genre’s appeared as a separate section where you could apply posters to the genres like collections. Unlike Collections, having movies in their genre’s wouldn’t change how they show in the library or any collections they are a part of. In a nutshell, if I want to watch a Western I go to the new Genre’s sections an… ---

With PMS 1.28.1, you’re now able to access your movies and shows by genres in a new/separate pivot (tab). I’m therefore considering this suggestion to be implemented. > [@Plex Media Server](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-media-server/30447/521): > > Plex Media Server 1.28.1.6041 is now available to Plex Pass users in the Beta update channel.
