Quick Question about Changing Movie Sort Order

[jackryan]

All of my multi-part movies are sorting up top, ahead of my one-part movies. How do I make them sort normally, so all movie titles are in order, regardless of whether they are one or two part?

EG, this is what I have:
MyMovies\MovieD\MovieD-Part1\MovieD1.avi
MyMovies\MovieD\MovieD-Part2\MovieD2.avi
MyMovies\MovieE\MovieE-Part1\MovieE1.avi
MyMovies\MovieE\MovieE-Part2\MovieE2.avi
MyMovies\MovieA\MovieA.avi
MyMovies\MovieB\MovieB.avi
MyMovies\MovieC\MovieC.avi
MyMovies\MovieF\MovieF.avi

And I want it to sort like this:
MyMovies\MovieA\MovieA.avi
MyMovies\MovieB\MovieB.avi
MyMovies\MovieC\MovieC.avi
MyMovies\MovieD\MovieD-Part1\MovieD1.avi
MyMovies\MovieD\MovieD-Part2\MovieD2.avi
MyMovies\MovieE\MovieE-Part1\MovieE1.avi
MyMovies\MovieE\MovieE-Part2\MovieE2.avi
MyMovies\MovieF\MovieF.avi

Thanks in advance,
Jack

A little more info:
From reading the database movies.xml, I see that there is a 'type' field, upon which XLobby is apparently doing a primary sort. When a movie is directly in a folder, the type is 'movie' type, but when it is in a subfolder, it is a 'folder' type. All multi-part movies are in subfolders (as required by XLobby). XLobby then sorts by type, then whatever field is specified in the 'sort order' in the UI.

So apparently what I need is to remove the order by 'type' command, wherever it is.

Any suggestions much appreciated,

JR

Did anyone ever figure this out? I'm hitting the same problem.

Nevermind, I just wrote a little plugin to do the sorting outside of Xlobby.
