[Feature] Modify 'Sort Title' within plex #130

This feature would be incredibly useful for collections that are not set to hide their items.

For instance Collection: Blade (Blade, Blade II, Blade Trinity)

Script should give the user an option of modifying the sort title (with a prepend) based on the list order. The config could look something like this

Collections: Blade: IMDB_List: xxxx Sort: Yes Sort_title: Blade

The end result would be Blade 1 = Blade 01 Blade 2 = Blade 02 Blade Trinity = Blade 03

The Sort_title becomes important for movies that do not have the same basic title, for example, The Mighty Ducks or The Fugitive/US Marshals. And it might make sense to include an option to not make a collection, but only update the sort title

Example -

Collections: Mighty Ducks Collection: IMDB_List: xxxx Sort: Yes Collection: Yes Sort_Title: Mighty Ducks

The end result would be The Mighty Ducks = Mighty Ducks 01 D2: The Mighty Ducks = Mighty Ducks 02 D3: The Mighty Ducks = Mighty Ducks 03 This allows all 3 films to sort properly on the dashboard, assuming the collection that was generated allowed them to be shown.

Collections: Fugitive Collection: IMDB_List: xxxx Sort: Yes Collection: No Sort_Title: Fugitive

The end result would be Fugitive = Fugitive 01 US Marshals = Fugitive 02

In this example, no collection would be made, but the sort title would be updated on both movies

Then, of course, someone who wanted these two movies to sort in the U's could simply set their sort word to "US Marshals" and it would sort accordingly

So, just to clarify, you’re hoping to modify the sort title of movies based on the collection they’re in? What would be the source of the order of the collections?

I think it would make the most sense to either use list order, or release year
