General question about collection sorting using the Star Wars ‘machete order’ as an example. At the minute, it’s only possible to sort collections alphabettically or by release date. Anyone know of a way of custom sorting a collection without affecting the main library sorting? This would be possi…

Replying to add my support for this feature request. I’d live to be able to sort within a collection without it affecting the main library sorting.

I have just been directed here after posting a similar post which I have copied below… I would like to suggest a new property field for a movie for the purpose to sort items within a collection. An example of the purpose for this is to allow the sorting of the movies to be in story chronological o…

So I’ve just basically decided to do it this way, as your Solo example. I have my movie library set to hide items that are in collections from the main library view, so it negates the weird sorting order needed for collections. I agree though, a proper solution should be made for it.

Another vote for a custom sort order for collections, or an additional sort field for inside collections. Both the Marvel movies and the Star Wars series could use this feature for starters. You can’t name the movies properly for sorting inside the collection and still have them sort properly in …

Has my vote for a customer order. I’m surprised this still hasn’t been implemented. You can sort a playlist why not a collection.

AMEN! PLEASE ADD - Collection Order - by “Sort Title” Collections - Advanced - Collection Order Currently only by: Alphabetical or Release Date This would be SO helpful in Movie Series like Star Trek, Star Wars, Marvel, DC, Tolkien . . .
