Hi all, is it possible to sort Moving Pictures by genre?

Basically i want to edit the genre of all my films into kids, hd and dvd then be able to choose a genre in MP.

Possible?? :D

The next release will have sorting implemented. But sorting by genre does not quite make sense. Most movies are assigned to multiple genres so there is really no way to pick which is the "right" genre to sort by. What I think you are looking for is filtering by genre, but that unfortunately will not be available until the version after next (0.8). Which I would guess is a month or two a way?

I plan to edit the genres into, HD, DVD & kids so it will be easier to navigate. Hopefully that will work !

What you are describing is filtering which will, again, be included in 0.8.

Would you click Sort title: Back to the future? Of course not that doesn't make sense. So what would you expect to happen when you click sort ganre: action? List only movies in the action genre? Not a bad suggestion, but, again, filtering, not sorting.

Well, I had already recognized your problem, but I still wanted to point out the basic connections once again.

My problem is that I would like to switch from Kodi to Mediaportal. In Kodi, putting an Extras folder in the same folder as the movie automatically manages all the extras on the Bluray, so my library is organized in this way.
