[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 1061075, member: 18896"] Getting direct series/grouping support is an outstanding issue (with high demand) that is not going to happen soon. What you can do is deal with work-arounds. However those have to be made within the boundaries of what is possible, and what you are attempting breaks that. You will have to rewrite the entire "All Movies" category menu structure, it will not work by adjusting a default dynamic category, but you can make it semi-dynamic by using advanced filters such as "Full Path". For an easy automatic way, you might want to simply look at the IMDb+ plugin. During import the IMDb+ scraper-script will rename the movie title so that it groups together in correct order, so that "Quantum of Solace" is sorted amongst the other "James Bond" movies under the 'J', and not under the 'Q'. Of course SMS filtering will still work if you type in 7-8-2-6-8-8-6, as 'Quantum' is still part of the IMDb+ title as well. Ontop of that the new Moving-Pictures now has 'collections' support, so you can create a new dynamic category for that, and if you are an IMDb+ user, you get additional benefits such as a "» IMDb Top 250" collection. Still custom categories are fun and powerfull, I got over 500+ on my own setup, and it took painstaking work to get them in there, but now I reap the benefits of a quick navigationable large collection.
