I currently sort my movies in a structure similar to this:

plex/movies/A/Ace Ventura - Pet Detective (1994)/Ace Ventura - Pet Detective (1994).avi
plex/movies/A/Ace Ventura - Pet Detective (1994)/Ace Ventura - Pet Detective (1994).eng.srt
plex/movies/A/Avatar (2009)/Avatar (2009).avi
plex/movies/A/Avatar (2009)/Avatar (2009).eng.srt
plex/movies/B/Batman (1989)/Batman (1989).avi
plex/movies/B/Batman (1989)/Batman (1989).eng.srt
etc...

Is there any way for FileBot to detect the first letter of the movie title and sort accordingly based on the current path structure I have in place?

So for example, if it sees that the movie starts with "C" like "Casino (1995)", it would automatically move it directly in to the "plex/movies/C/" path.
Is this possible?

I currently use the GUI running on Windows 10.

Never mind. I got it figured out. I really didn't understand the {az} option but now I do.

{az} will do what you want:
viewtopic.php?t=910

Format: Select all

{ az }

Note that {az} maybe based on the first letter of the movie collection if the movie is part of a collection.

You can explicitly take the first letter of the movie name if {az} isn't exactly what you want:

Format: Select all

{ n[0] }

Thank you. I appreciate the additional info.
