Hi

I am viewing the server from the plex web page on my PC.

If I sort my movies by ‘Title’, the default option, the total number appears incorrect, about 5 too many. However if I sort the movies with any other category I always get the same correct value.

Why would a title sort give a slightly higher result please?

Thanks  
Robin

Edit you library, and check `Advanced/Collection`

Most likely set to show both collections and their items

When sorting by title it will include collections, do you have any of those. Also movies in collections that are not set to also show in your library could reduce the number of movies shown when sorting by title.
