I am planning to migrate my USB storage to NAS. I plan to continue to run plex PMS on my Mac and use NAS only for storage. Any best practices for doing storage migration?

In particular, how do I maintain sort orders and other elements of the current library database? Would prefer not to redo the years of work I have put into organizing the library.

Found this which seems on point. Say a prayer for me.
