Sort Title in Plex Not working

[chaybrandon]

Server Version#: 1.13.8.5395
Player Version#: Plex Web

My sort title feature in Plex is not working! If I change the sort title to me something like Moviename1, Moviename2, Moviename3 etc it does not change the order in which the movies are displayed.

This sort title feature used to work fine but now no longer does.

Any ideas on how to fix?

Please show a screenshot of your library, showing the incorrect sorting.
Please don’t crop off anything, since the surrounding areas may give a clue to what’s happening.

Hi there thanks for the quick response please find below:

Please note the sort titles are as follows: Movie name - Sort Title

Episode 1: A Phantom Menace - Star Wars 01
Episode 2: Attack of the clones - Star Wars 02
Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith - Star Wars 03
Episode IV - A New Hope - Star Wars 04
Episode V - Empire Strikes Back - Star Wars 05
Episode VI - Return of the jedi - Star Wars 06
The Force Awakens - Star Wars 07
The Last Jedi - Star Wars 08

Look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks

This is a collection.
The sorting within a collection follows by default the release year.

To make it follow the sorting title, you must ‘edit’ the collection, then go to the ‘Advanced’ tab and set the ‘Collection Order’ to ‘Alphabetical’.

Your a star mate! I wasn’t aware of that setting!

I have changed over to Alphabetical and it’s working!

Thank you for the assistance mate!
