I don’t know if the solution is to have a tag attribute but I agree with solving this problem. There is absolutely no way to define a watch order for a set of movies.

**Why the current Collections feature doesn’t work:**  
Collections do now allow you to custom sort like playlists.

**Why the current Playlist feature doesn’t work:**  
Playlists come very close to achieving a watch order. Its flaw is when a movie file is changed (like when its quality is updated). I made a similar post here: [Keep media in Playlist when file changes](https://forums.plex.tv/t/keep-media-in-playlist-when-file-changes/553378)
