liabella 1 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Hi, New to MB and lov it I have everything sorted in folders however I am starting to create 'collections' to store like movies. Some movies do show in release order however some dont. Example being the Transformers movies. Is there a certain way to list or structure the movie folders in the main collection folder to show them a) by release date or in a way that I can customise Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewcrider 2 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 For sequels, I find the easiest way is to edit the sort name using the metadata manager in the web interface. Use sort names like "transformers 1", "transformers 2", and so on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logos302 86 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 You might also look at auto-box set (server plugin) which can create the collections for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke 37054 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Don't muck with sort names because it will throw off the sorting if you happen to view a list of all movies. Instead you can configure this on a per-collection basis: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14910 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Well, specifically for MBC that option won't work as it handles all sorting client-side. In your collection view in MBC, you can change the sort to "Year" and then the items will sort by release date. Also, using the sort name isn't necessarily a problem if you really want all of those movies to be shown together in all instances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
