Hello everyone,

I'm "kinda" new to DVDPro and I have a little question. On the shelves I'm used to sorting my DVD's by director, problem is I can't seem to get it to work that way with DVDPro. I've tried searching the forum but no helpful results.

Maybe it's not even possible, I hope there's anyone out there that can "enlighten" me.

Greetings,

You cannot order by director directly (AFAIK).

But there are three ways to accomplish your goal:

Sort Title:
When you edit a profile you have a sort title in the Personalization section. You could edit it from "Die Hard" to "McTiernan: Die Hard". When you order by title it will be ordered by sort title.

Collection Number:
The collection number takes any numeral you want (also in the Personalization section). You can sort by collection number.

Location / Slot:
Also in the Personalization section there is a location field and a slot field. You can order by them (on the left side of the total DVD number is a button with an expandable menu where you can order by location, slot

First off, excuse my horrible English in the last sentence where "that" should obviously have been "who", haha .

Vielen Dank DJ Dona! It'll cost me a little time to fix but at least I know how to do it now  . Thanks for the quick response.

And I am really missing this possibility.

Add it to the "Feature Requests"
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

That's actually a great idea
