The Jellyfin documentation states that if you have multiple versions of the same movie they will be sorted according to file names - except if resolution names are included. So in the following case;
Great Movie (1986)
├── Great Movie (1986) - 1. Director's Cut.mkv
├── Great Movie (1986) - 2. Theatrical.mkv
then the Director's Cut should come first in the dropdown selection. Except this doesn't happen if, for example, the Director's Cut is 720p and the Theatrical is in 1080p - the Theatrical edition comes first. It seems as if Jellyfin is sorting movies primarily according to the actual movie resolution - even if you don't include the resolution name in the filename - and only then by filenames.
Am I doing something wrong here? Is there any way to enforce my own ordering?
