#Default decade collection not sorting properly

Wiki says that it should be sorted by critic_rating.desc by default, however it is sorting by alpha in plex.

Relevant block:

        template_variables:
          limit: 100```

It also seems that the default year collection has the same issue. This causes the collection to only show movies that start with #-B in most of the collections.

Im unsure if its related, but in plex it shows the collection size as >100 for each decade, but once I go in to the collection, it only shows the limit that was set.

This is a plex thing.

#

What if you set the sort you want [even though it is supposed to default to what you want]?

@empty axle the logs show the sort it being applied as critic_rating.desc

LinuxServer (LSIO) Issues

The Linuxserver.io image [linuxserver/kometa] is different to the OFFICIAL image [kometa-team/kometa] in a few ways that cause problems.

It keeps the Kometa files in a different place inside the image compared to official, so when you exec into it you can't just run Kometa, you need to cd into another dir first.

The default run time is 3:00am which coincides with Plex maintenance.

Generally speaking, we suggest you use the official Kometa image instead of lsio. Type !repos for more info.

Thanks for using Kometa

you could also try deleting the collections in plex ui and rerunning kometa to see if itll sort correctly

i just ran with a different sort, and it sorted just fine. removed the sort and it returned properly to critic rating

Trying the other repo, will report back once I get it set up.

Looks like it has the same behavior. Only shows the first 100 items of the decade collection when sorted by alpha. Shouldnt it be sorting the movies and then limiting the list to 100 and then telling plex what collection to put them in? It seems like its giving plex the full list, which plex then sorts by alpha, and then telling plex to limit it to 100.

#

Also noticed that it too removes the oscars collections then re-adds them on every run

Thats the thing, its not supposed to sort by alpha, the configs and logs both show its supposed to sort by critic

You said “when sorted by alpha”. So I take that as you changing the sort

Ive tried a few times to reproduce this and still can’t

My suspicion:

The library is set to:

Ratings Source: The Movie Database

That rating source doesn't have a critic rating.

You don't have an operation set up to fill in the critic rating, so nothing in the library has one of those.

You are telling Plex to sort by a value that doesn't exist [critic_rating], so I imagine it falls back to alpha.

The only one with a critic rating is rotten tomatoes

#

Or you can use a Kometa library operation to shove the rating of your choice into the critic box.

You will probably need to refresh metadata

Alright cool, that was the fix, thanks for the help
