Server Version#: 1.24.0.4930  
Player Version#: Web 4.59.2

Not a major problem, just a confusing one. I have 897 films in my movie library, unless I filter by title. Then I have 913 films. Any other filter shows 897 films. Not sure why this is happening.

Collections are included when sorting by title.

The count isn’t for the number of movies in the Library. It’s for the number of tiles displayed. So if you have the library’s ‘Collections’ setting set to “hide items which are in collections,” the count will be lower when sorted by Title (because it will only show a tile for the Collections, and not the individual movies in them).

If it’s set to “Show collections and their items,” the count will be higher because it will show a tile for the collection, plus tiles for the individual items.  
If it’s is set to “Disabled,” it will only show tiles for the individual movies.
