One of our favourite things to do is watch series/movies in a specific order. Is it possible to use a .plexlist file to ensure it plays in that order, switching between different series and movies automatically?

That sounds exactly what a regular playlist would do.

Basically, I’m just wondering if there’s an easier way via a cvs or similar. Manually selecting & adding 900+ Star Trek episodes would be quite a chore

You can add the a whole Star Trek show to a playlist and it adds each episode individually.

Right, that adds them sequentially as a season

I’m wondering if I can do something like:

> **[Star Trek - Series and Movies - Google Drive](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15OV7RN9MuD3OalaAbVtNNmZQl9ECT9zStOlMSiRFCvg/htmlview#gid=0)**

> This Sheet is private

As an example:

> DS9 5 8  
> VOY 3 10  
> TNG MOVIE 2 Star Trek: First Contact  
> DS9 5 9

Obviously corrected to plex naming format but plays in that order… or I re-order it to list them by stardate and export the episode/movie order into a CVS for Plex to play in that order.

With the complexity of some universes this would really helpful (Marvel, Walking Dead, Arrowverse, etc) to pre-set the play order.

Ok but there is no function to do that in the app itself. I have no idea if there is some third party solution
