I am able to confirm there is a bug with smart collection sorting using the “Last Episode Date Added” when combined with advanced filters for shared users.
- This bug only occurs within a smart collection of shows (i.e. query parameters
type=2&sort=episode.addedAt:desc). A smart collection of episodes is sorted correctly. - There must be at least one advanced filter applied. The exact filter does not matter, and any filter will produce this bug.
- If a shared user goes into the library and recreates the exact same filters themselves, the sort order is correct.
PMS Version 1.25.2.5319
Plex Web Version 4.72.0
In addition, while I was playing around with this, I discovered a different, but possibly related bug. The sorting is incorrect specifically when the the “Last Episode Date Added” sorting is combined with the “Network” advanced filter.
I chose three random shows in my library to demonstrate this bug. The correct order for the three shows when sorted by “Last Episode Date Added” (in descending order) is:
- The Expanse
- The Book of Boba Fett
- The Grand Tour
Using the “Last Episode Date Added” sort order by itself returns the correct order.
When combined with the “Network” filter, the order is mixed. I have not determined why this order is being returned.
When combined with a different filter such as “Show Title”, the order is correct.
Smart collection on the admin account with the correct order.
Smart collection on the shared user with the incorrect order.
