probably the easiest way would be to edit the name field. As with Tremors:
Tremors 6 - Cold day in hell
Tremors 7 - Shreiker Island
If a view is sorted by name, the above should work. If you would want to keep the original official title for some reason, you could create a new library field called "Sort Title" or whatever... and create a view that sorts on that. You'd have to create a sort title for every movie you import, but I assume you have to also do that with Emby. You'd only have to edit the names of movies with sequels to utilize the 1st method.
I was thinking there might be some expression that could group movies and their sequels by name... and then sort by date, however I'm not sure that would be possible.
Thanks for responding.
Once everything is imported into Emby or Plex, I have the option to change the sort title as shown in the original post. If I am following what you are saying, yes, all sort titles are showing the original titles after importing and then I can change only the sort titles I want shown in the library in chronological order. Tremors, as it turns out, is actually in order as it is tagged. Something like Fast & Furious on the other hand is scattered randomly throughout the library although maybe 70% show up in the "F" files but grossly out of order.
If I edit the name field, does it only change the info for the MC library? As long as it doesn't change the server file info, that might be the best option. I assume that once i've tagged the files, it shouldn't change anything but the title in the MC30 program, correct? Any changes to the files on the server will be a major problem. Thanks.
