I have a large library , the folder has 573 movies  
But Plex says that library has 560 movies.  
So some of the files are combined with others.  
I have no idea what ones they are.  
So was looking at a way to find the combined files easily. Instead of clicking on one at a time.  
Is there a way to sort or see what files have combined ones in them?

sort by `duplicates` which will display ones where it thought it was two or more copies/versions of the same movie

Otherwise generally it will movies with parts that might gotten combined as two halves of a movie because of how file naming rules work. Unfortunately there is no easy sort for that as they are not considered duplicates/versions. Files with named the same other wise but end in `part1`, `part2`, or a view other variations, are treated as one file for playback in apps that support it [https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-movie-media-files/#toc-3](https://support.plex.tv/articles/naming-and-organizing-your-movie-media-files/#toc-3) . I’m not sure if [webtools](https://forums.plex.tv/t/webtools-ng/598539) has an report for that. cc @dane22

WebTools-NG has a module named `Find Media` that just might be able to assist here
