Is there a way to adjust the sort order inside a movie set? At the moment star wars is showing up for me in some weird order, I'd love for it to show chronilogical but currently it shows in reverse chronilogical
2015 - Star Wars: The Force Awakens
2005 - Star Wars: Episode III - Revent of the Sith
1999 - Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace
1983 - Return of the Jedi
1980 - The Empire Strikes Back
1977 - the Star Wars
Thank you!
In the movies library if you click the left button you will see the view options,
there you will be able to change the "sort by" and "order" options.
In your case you want;
Sort by=Year
Order=Ascending
Or
-Go to Skin settings->Main menu items->Edit categories(install Library node editor if prompted)
-Select the Movies folder then the Sets folder
-Select "*Add order..." then click "Title"(first one from the top if different than Title) and select "Year"
-Then click "Ascending"(the other one if different than Ascending) and select "Ascending"
Now if you press back once you should be able to see the new rule called; Order: Year (ascending)
You might need to restart LibreELEC for the new rule to take effect
NB: If you have Library node editor already installed you can do that by going to;
Program add-ons->Library node editor->Video Library->Movies->Sets->*Add order...->Year->Ascending->*Reboot
I tried the first one already and I didn't see the order change within sets, just the order that the movies were presented to me in the main list (including sets). The second one I did not find, will give that a go thank you.
While you are in the set, navigate to the left until the sidebar opens. Those settings will be different from the main library settings. The main library settings will only affect the main library, but not the sets. If you are in a set it will have it's own settings. There you are able to change the sortorder and decide by what you want to sort it (year, name ....desending, ascending) and so on.
DaVu That works when you jump into the set but no on the main screen of the set
ah, now I understand. You are talking about this:
Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet
compared to this:
Imgur: The most awesome images on the Internet
That's a thing which is really annoying and there is no setting for it. But changing it isn't that hard. In the end the Skin has to be modified. For that you will need to copy the complete skin to a location where you will have write access.
Note: I use the name "mod.estuary". That's optional. You are able to choose any name you like. For this how-to I'll use that naming.
First we need to create a folder at /storage/.kodi/addons where our "new" skin has to be placed:
Then we copy the full skin to that folder:
Then we have to edit our new skin, so Kodi will recognize that there is another one:
in there we have to change the name of the skin at the 2nd line. In my case I did it like that:
<addon id="mod.estuary" version="1.9.12" name="Mod.Estuary" provider-name="phil65, Ichabod Fletchman">
Then save that and exit nano.
Now we have to do the real change...The file in question which need to be changed is the "MyVideoNav.xml". So let's do that:
At this file, search for that block:
<control type="group">
<left>20</left>
<top>245</top>
<visible>ListItem.IsCollection</visible>
<include content="InfoList">
<param name="bottom" value="108" />
<param name="width" value="540" />
<param name="sortby" value="year" />
<param name="sortorder" value="descending" />
<param name="font" value="font13" />
</include>
It has to be around line 67-77 and change the "<param name="sortorder" value="descending" />" to "<param name="sortorder" value="ascending" />"
Then save and quit the file.
Reboot your device
Now we have to enable the new skin. Go to: addons->my addons->look and feel->skins->Mod.Estuary
and enable it.
After that switch to the skin by: settings->interface settings->skin->Mod.Estuary
Done
