Just change the "collection_section"
- pmm: director # the alive ones
template_variables:
collection_section: 800
use_separator: true
...
That will push them to the end of the default collections.
I have a general question; why do all the files you upload have those numeric suffixes?
ORIGINAL MESSAGE:
I want to thank everyone who has helped me so far. I now have the collections I want but need to sort them out to look good. First issue is the actors directors pmm collections. I am trying to have them at the end of the collections so I tried to assign a higher number on sort than others but they have not moved. They are contained in my config file attached.

adding that suffix gets in the way of the automatic redaction, for one thing.

@vestal slate is this the one you wanted reopened?
vestal slate
Yes thanks.

The config file is attached. I tried with 900 as you listed and +900 and neither worked and in fact the actors and actresses are now all mixed in together even though the separators are still there. I will have some other sorting questions after this one is sorted out.
sudden junco
can you provide a log showing this happening?
collection_section should be just a number, not a string:
sudden junco
This is behaving as expected:
libraries:
Movies - Alternate Cuts:
collection_files:
- pmm: director # the alive ones
template_variables:
use_separator: true
collection_section: 900
sep_style: orig
style: diiivoycolor
include:
- Clint Eastwood
- Francis Ford Coppola
- M. Night Shyamalan
- Martin Scorsese
- Quentin Tarantino
- Ridley Scott
- Steven Spielberg
- Guy Ritchie
- Christopher Nolan
- Denis Villeneuve
- Ron Howard
- Robert Redford
- Client Eastwood
Actors and Directors are mixed as expected since they're all in the same section, 900:

I was gonna say, if you use the same collection section number, they’re going to mix
sudden junco
This:
- pmm: seasonal # Create holiday collections that follow schedules
collection_section: 90
schedule: weekly(thursday)
template_variables:
limit: 100
use_Women's History Month Movies: false
use_Latinx Heritage Month Movies: false
use_LGBTQ+ Pride Month Movies: false
use_Black History Month Movies: false
use_Day of Persons with Disabilities Movies: false
use_Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month Movies: false
Is incorrect. It's use_<<key>> where the "key" is listed on the wiki page:
So that should be:
- pmm: seasonal # Create holiday collections that follow schedules
collection_section: 90
schedule: weekly(thursday)
template_variables:
limit: 100
use_women: false
use_latinx: false
use_lgbtq: false
use_black_history: false
use_disabilities: false
use_aapi: false
If I fix up and run your config above [aside from your files], I get what I would expect:
If I set:
collection_section: 800
and run it, I get what I'd expect:
that's this config:
libraries:

collection_files:
- pmm: imdb
template_variables:
radarr_add_missing: true
use_popular: true
use_lowest: false
- pmm: director # the alive ones

I think I understand. I will try it out and post.

I entered the info but I guess maybe it is my other lists that are not sorting correctly. I am trying to lay out People collection last and they do not move. I have attached my genre, decades and Movie-collection files. . I tried with and without plus signs and every combination I could imagine but I cannot seem to figure the sorting with collection_section and sort_title. My Genre file has the sorting order I want on top.
sudden junco
The default collections all get sort title that lok like this:
<<sort_prefix>><<collection_section>>_!<<title>>
As shown above:
That sort_prefix means that they will all appear before any of your own, unless you construct your own sort titles to match, or remove the sort_prefix.
There's nothing magic here; the collections are just sorted in alphabetical order by the sort title.
Yours:
Oscar-Best Picture:
imdb_search:
type: movie
event.winning: oscar_picture
sort_title: 500 <<collection_name>>
gets a sort_title of 500 Oscar-Best Picture, which will sort after all the defaults.
If you want the actor defaults to sort after your own collections, you need to give them names that will sort after your own.
At least in part, you'll need to remove that sort_prefix, which you can do via template_variables.
vestal slate
Sorry I am confused. How would I remove the sort_prefix from the actors and directors? What would the command be to remove sort_prefix "sort_prefix: remove"? That is one I have not seen before.
