First off, please be gentle. I've only just started using Kometa and I've become addicted!

One issue I'm facing that I've not been able to find a resolution to is my ordering of collections that link out to files. My config collection is below, but what I'm trying to do is to get all the movies in the decades collection first, followed by the collections in the collections.yml, then actions.yml and so on and so forth, however when the collections are generated the contents of the actors.yml comes before collections.yml.

Any help would be appreciated.

`collection_files: &paths
  - file: config/decades.yml
  - file: config/collections.yml
  - file: config/actors.yml
  - default: basic
  - default: imdb                 
    template_variables:
      name_popular: IMDb Popular Movies   
      use_lowest: false
      visible_home_top: true   
      visible_home_popular: true    #run once to create list in home settings
  - collection_order: custom `

Yep, sorted it. For anyone facing a similar challenge you can fix it by adding a sort_title in each of the files.

E.g
sort_title: +10_<<collection_name>>
sort_title: +20_<<collection_name>>
sort_title: +30_<<collection_name>>

The positioning of collections is controlled by their sort titles, not their position in the config file.

This:

     - collection_order: custom

Isn't valid there and at best is only causing an error in the log.
