Use file name for sorting - The_Sebuss - 2025-04-11
Hello !
I'm new to Jellyfin and pretty happy with my setup so far.
I would like to know if there's a way to auto use file name for sorting.
I know we can add a sorting name in metadata but I'd like to know if it's possible to do it automaticaly. I have a lot of files that are already named as I'd like them to be sorted (ex : Harry Potter 1, Harry Potter 2 etc)
Are there some kind of settings or plugin for this?
Thank you !

I found that making a "Movie and Show" library quite do the trick since all movie from a saga already have their own folder so I can sort by release date, but still curious if what I asked exist

There is a "sorting title" field you can add. When a sorting title is present, that title will be used instead of the main title.
Fellowship = Lord of the Rings 1
Two Towers = Lord of the Rings 2
Return of the King = Lord of the Rings 3
Without the sorting title it would be Fellowship, Return of the King, then Two Towers.
And you can the same for Harry Potter.
