Grouped Movies custom movie order - Antonbp5 - 2025-01-10

Hello all.

I have a minor issue with the grouping of movies.

I have not used the recommended file structure for multiple movie versions from Jellyfin as I found it didn't work.
Therefore I have simply just manually merged movies together.

I have noticed though that Jellyfin sorts the merged movies by longest title.

I have the movie Zohan, and the movie Zohan Unrated Version. I will merge those two together, but then the Unrated Version is the first thing selected.
Is there any way I can change that, so the regular one is the one on top?

Thank you very Much!

Can you provide examples of your attempt to use the "multiple versions" naming? Your file names need to match the folder name EXACTLY prior to the dash. Including the year and/or TMDBID.

Code:
Godzilla Minus One (2023) [tmdbid-940721]/

├── Godzilla Minus One (2023) [tmdbid-940721] - DVSample.mkv

├── Godzilla Minus One (2023) [tmdbid-940721] - HDR10Sample.mkv

└── Godzilla Minus One (2023) [tmdbid-940721] - Original.mkv

Sorting with the merge versions plugin is a long running issue.

Actually, it seems that Grouped movies also mess with the TMDb Boxset plugin as seen on this github page.
I will simply just split all of my merged movies and they will be standalone.
A minor annoyance but seems like the best solution for my situation.

Thank you very much
