Time and times again I find myself wondering what movie to watch. So I start scrolling through my library. Because I have sorted my library by title I always scroll through my movies in the same order. And I never make it to the end of my library.
Wouldn’t it be great it there was an option to sort my movie library randomly, so I can scroll through different movies every time and get fresher suggestions then the same ones (in the same order) every time.
Which client(s) are you using? Some already have a “Shuffle” play option in the Library view for Movies.
I’m using the iOS app and the Panasonic WebOS app. Both have (as far as I can see) a shuffle option, but this plays a random movie. What I would like is for the library to sort its movies in a random order.
Understood; just trying to provide alternatives in the meantime.
You should also be able sort titles in reverse order (Z-A).
Thanks for the help. I appreciate it! 
You could create a playlist of that library with random sorting, as shown in here: [TIP] [MUSIC] --- how to create an autoplaylist with random sort
in the movie library > recommendations, there should be a ‘top unwatched movies’ hub.
this is normally a random set of unwatched high rated movies.
I pin this hub to my home screen, so I can always have an easy way to see random movies that might peek my interest.
of course neither is the solution you are requesting, and I agree there should be a sort by random/shuffle available within the UI for any list of movies/episodes/music/etc.
I wish there were REVERSE TITLE SORT. I can’t see where I can ask that question.
You can do that…
= reverse order
