Sort Collection by Date (Descending)

[river burrow]

I wanted to sort some of my TV collections by date but I want it so the newest shows are at the top instead of at the default which is oldest at the top.
In my yaml file I have the following:

  AppleTV+:
    tmdb_network: 2552
    collection_order: custom
    sort_by: release.desc```

This isnt working and I am getting the attached error in the log file. 
Another user, @last radish had this issue and was able to resolve it by changing the formatting of the code but I wasnt able to work out exactly what they did to fix it.

As it says, sort_by is not supported in that context.

Also, even if it did work, these two are contradictory:

    collection_order: custom
    sort_by: release.desc

The first says "put this collection in the order in which tmdb_network provides it", while the second [attempts to] say "put this is descending order by release". Kometa can't do both.

Without looking at the docs, I would try:

collections:
  AppleTV+:
    tmdb_network: 2552
    collection_order: release.desc

✅ YAML validation passed!! That is valid YAML, but may not meet Kometa's requirements

Just tested and that worked. thank you @trim venture
I had assumed that the plex setting had to be changed to custom and then the order applied.

[trim venture]

Is there something in the docs that needs to be changed to make that more clear?

[river burrow]

I got that idea from this page:
https://kometa.wiki/en/latest/kometa/guides/order/?h=sort#collection-order
The part that says "When using Kometa builders, the majority of builders will require collection_order: custom to be set".
and the example code shows:

  Top Action Movies:
    collection_order: custom
    plex_search:
      all:
        genre: Action
      sort_by: audience_rating.desc
      limit: 50```
> So I just assumed I had to add the collection_order

[trim venture]

Yeah, there are examples there but I suppose there isn't a specific "don't use these at the same level" statement

It's sort of a tricky thing to express in a succinct way that won't make people ignore the wall of text

[river burrow]

Yup, I think its fine and at least if anyone has an the issue in the future hopefully they will find this
