Since I couldn’t find a way how to reopen or to request to reopen the [bug I have reported](https://forums.plex.tv/t/plex-wrongly-merging-files-across-multiple-folders-within-the-same-library/398524) and didn’t get any progress and is still present - I am creating new one - sorry.

Server Version#: 1.22.3.4392  
Player Version#: 1.31.1.2262-74fdc6b7 (windows one)

> I have a library for courses. Some of them gets updated as the framework evolves. However I intend to keep them in separate folder per relevant version. Thus the same file can exist in multiple folders (they might have different naming because of numbering those files though). Example: Angular 4 - 100 files Angular 5 - 100 files same files + 20 additional Angular 6 - 100 files + 20 files + another 20 files… So the end result plex produces is that when in folder view in certain course folder…

Thank you.
