Why Are Some of My Plex Libraries in a Random Order Now?

Server Version#: 4.49.2
Player Version#:web

Horror (Family) is at the very top above 3D and (Classic) which is usually at the very top is in the middle…and several other Libraries are out of alphabetical order why is this?

I’m having the same problem on Mac. I “fought” Plex to order my libraries in a very particular way (by adding dummy characters to the beginning of library names to force them to sort a particular way; a workaround that sucks because there is SO LITTLE space for library names as it is; all of my library names are truncated and unreadable as is). Now, the order of all my libraries is jumbled in a mess. I cannot make out how it is sorting. Yes, I know I can reorder PINNED libraries, but I don’t even want to use Pinned library view. I want ALL my libraries sorted the way I want them sorted. I’m hoping Plex will fix this ASAP. And, maybe give us more space for library names and allowing us to sort libraries (outside of Pinning) the way we want/specify (a “Sort by…” feature for library names like what we have for movie/TV titles).

You’re not the only one! I have a topic going as well. It looks like this issue is pretty widespread.

Yes mine too!, i hate it - should be possible just to drag them arround in whatever order you want them.

I have too many Libraries to bother with pinning, I wrote a piece years ago about how Pinning was lame and should be able to be disabled in Settings, Just 1 more thing to act buggy idk why Pinning was added in the first place there’s no need to pin anything and I have over 80 libraries.

I’m not an employee. I don’t know any more than you do.
