    I am putting together a Collection based on AFI's Top 100 movies.  Within the collection, I would like to sort by the order in which the movies are ranked, from 1 to 100.  Is there a way to get this sort order for the Collection, without affecting the sort order of the Library where the films live?  When I change the sort title in a film's metadata, it also affects the sorting in the Library as well as in the Collection.

    IIRC, Collections can not be sorted.

    An alternate solution would be to use a playlist, since they can be ordered.

    Jellyfin doesn't currently have a custom sort option for collections. You can upvote the feature request here.

    As a workaround, Collections are sorted by year. You can adjust the year of each movie, ranging from 1924 (1) to 2024 (100).

    Thanks, I voted.  This workaround isn't ideal for me because I want to be able to see the true year each film was released.

    Thanks, this seems like the best workaround for now.
