I might like this some things, like the Saw example. My biggest issue is movies like the James Bond series, where the name aren’t pre-fixed. I’m going to expect GoldenEye in the Gs, not in the Js. I also have a collection for the whole Clerks series, but include Mallrats, etc as they all play off each other. The MCU is another one where the titles are dramatically different the pre-fixes on the sort title could go a few different ways.
I will definitely keep the sort title in mind for when there are small tweaks.
Yeah it’s not the end-all-be-all solution for sure, but it helps for a large majority of movie series. I also use Plex Meta Manager to automatically create collections nightly for series, actors, genres, and even a handful of playlists.
Edit: and to add onto your example of Bond, yeah I just make that a playlist because it’d be way too confusing for me and most people who watching from my server.
Another use for ‘sort title’ is for making collections for things like actors, directors, decades, genres, etc and then sticking them at the top of the library by appending special characters or numbers to the beginning of the sort title, like '#001 Steven Spielberg Collection’s
Star Wars and Indiana Jones also have this issue with inconsistent titles, which make the default sorting annoying.
