Hi. Did some searching but couldn't find anything right on point. Thought i'd ask for some help in creating some custom sorts.
I have a view for my movies that has categories of Academy Award categories, and I've created semicolon delimited lists for each movie in my collection for each award that a movie has won. (I've also done the same with nominations). In this view, I would like to sort by an arbitrary listing of the Award categories so that rather than listing them in alphabetical order, they are listed in the order I deem most important (ie Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor... etc.). Is there an easy way to make an arbitrary sort order?
A similar request, but maybe a bigger lift. I also have a view that lists movies by director. Lots of the movies in my collection are by directors that aren't a big deal, but some are. I'd like to sort my directors by importance. I think one way to do that would be the # of academy awards nominations (either best picture or best director) that their movies have gotten. Ideally this would be of all their movies, not just the ones in my collection, though I realize that this might be hard to do. Otherwise, maybe an expression to sort directors by # of best director academy award nominations that director has.
Any help would be much appreciated!
