New user - any way to sort contents of a library? - chroma601 - 2023-08-31
New to Jellyfin. I started with a small movie library, but I can't find a way to sort within the library. It's showing the most recent additions first. I'd like to make the movie library alphabetical, but I haven't found a way to do that.
Help appreciated!

Which client are you using? Alphabetical should be the default.
If you are using the web client, Jellyfin Media Player, or Android app it's right at the top of the library.

Sorry, using Nvidia Shield Pro Android TV. I see this on the server web page on my Windows 10 desktop.
Looking at top, bottom, left and right, I see nothing about sorting the library contents.

It should still default to alphabetical. But the sort is also in the top right of the android tv app.

I went back on the Shield client and there indeed was an A-Z sort icon at the top right. Oddly, however, it did not sort left to right, but top to bottom then a column right, top to bottom, etc.
This is an unusual way to sort! Is this normal?

That is normal for the Android TV client since it scrolls left to right instead of top to bottom. IMO, that makes sense for the way you scroll through the library in the Android TV app.

Guess it'll make sense as I use it more. Thanks very much for the information! Very impressed with Jellyfin so far.

Hi all,
Can we change the default that sort by name to Release Date to all user? Or can mirror setting to dummy user?
Thanks.
