Title: How to add a secondar sort field
Post by: DanielBMe on November 16, 2012, 07:03:52 pm

I was hoping someone can help me out with the following.

I would like to copy the title name of a movie to another field but not sure how to do that.  The reason is I would like to use the second field as the proper sort field without actually changing the display name.  For ex, for the Terminator Movies, I could put T1, T2, T3 so they will display in proper order.  I know it's possible, I think I may have read it somewhere but now when searching the forums I can't find how to do it.

go to Options - Library & Folders. Click on Manage library Fields, then click Add New Field and the bottom under the current fields. Once you have your new field setup you can select the files you want to copy the fields from and right click and choose Library Tools - Move / Copy fields. Pick the source field and then the destination would be your newly created field, leave Action set to copy..

Done...

In any Standard View, setup the sort and save it as a Preset.

  Sort By > Custom > Preset

Then it will be available as a sort option in Theater View (and other places).
