[SNIPPET] Sort into A-Z folders

Post by rednoah »

Here's some formats that can help you sort movies or episodes into alphabetically sorted folders by the first letter.

Sort Movies and TV Shows into A-Z folders:
  • TV Shows/F/Firefly/Season 1/Firefly - S01E01 - The Train Job
  • Movies/S/Serenity (2005)/Serenity (2005)

e.g. The built-in {az} binding works for both Movie and Episode objects:

Code: Select all

{ az }/{ plex.tail }


e.g. Use the {az} binding to sort files into custom letter ranges:

Code: Select all

{
	switch(az) {
		case 'A'..'F': return 'A-F'
		case 'G'..'Q': return 'G-Q'
		case 'R'..'Z': return 'R-Z'
		default: return '#'
	}
}


e.g. Custom Series Format:

Code: Select all

{ n =~ /^(?i)[a-z]/ ? n[0] : '#' }/{ plex.name }
e.g. Custom Movie Format:

Code: Select all

{ n =~ /^(?i)[a-z]/ ? n[0] : '#' }/{ plex.name }
