"Recently Added" at the top of Home

Server Version#: Version 4.69.1

In the past, I guess it has been a few years now, whatever I added was always at the top of the screen and easy for other members of the house to see. Now it is a static/alphabetic of my categories. With dozens of categories it is not so easy to tell when I add something new. Is there a way to change this back so that the category that has the newest content is at the top?

I thank you in advance for your help.

A screenshot of the whole screen would be helpful to understand the issue.

Hope this helps. I don’t have an old screenshot of what it used to look like as a comparison.

The S1 ‧ E2 at the top of this screenshot seems to indicate, that the main area has been scrolled downwards a bit.

Things to try (in this order):

1. use a web browser without additional filtering. e.g. Chrome, or Firefox
2. Disable web browser add-ins, like adBlock, NoScript, uBlock etc.pp
3. use https://app.plex.tv instead of the old local web app
4. go to Settings - Server - Manage - Libraries. In there, expand one movies-type library and Reset Customizations. Repeat with at least one tv shows-type library.
   While you are there, make sure the checkbox “Merge Recently Added items” at the bottom is ticked.
5. reset the web app under Settings - Plex Web - ‘Show Advanced’ - Debug - “Restore Defaults”

6. check your server database for damage:

1. activate debug logging (not ‘verbose’!)
2. quit Plex Server
3. wait 1 minute
4. start Plex Server
5. wait 5 minutes
6. fetch log files and attach them here

Or inspect them yourself. Take a look at the Plex Media Server.log file and seek for messages about database corrupt or malformed.
If you find these, you may have to repair your database.
