Problems with alphabetical sorting of titles

Server Version#: 4.30.2
Player Version#:

Hi,
I have two requests to make; the first: is it possible to add a function to alphabetically sort the titles in a playlist?
Second question: I have many titles that start with numbers; the first ones in the list are the 007 series (put as a proper sorting title 007 ***) but there are two movies (7 Days in Entebbe and Le Grand Bain [title 7 men soaking]) that in the alphabetical list are before the various 007.

Can it be resolved?
Thank you very much.

As for the sorting… Plex appears not to use some natural search… so „007 ZZ“ is listed before „7 A“ because the first letter 0 is sorted before 7.

In my library I’ve adjusted the sort titles to make up for the different magnitudes:
Example:

Movie Sort Title
The 5th Wave 0005 Wave
The 13th Warrior 0013th Warrior
50 First Dates 0050 First Dates
300 0300 - 1
300 - Rise of an Empire 0300 - 2
2012 2012

In short: I’ve padded all numbers with leading zeros so the all match the length of the biggest number leading a name (here: all numbers expanded to 4 digits because the highest number has 4 digits). If I had added „10,000 BC“, I’ll need to make that 5 digits.

Perfect! I hadn’t thought about it…
So one of the two problems is solved, thank you very much!
