Hi, im really sorry if this has been asked before but I've been searching for ages and can't find a thing.
But basically, I want my movie libary to arrange series in order I.e " alien anthology" which is obviously muddled. However I don't want to use the group sets feature as it groups some old movies which having nothing to do with each other in collections and also I just want a straightforward list and don't want to click into it.
So yeah is there anyway of doing this or do I just have to deal with it?
Cheers
Luke

Yeah i saw that, but It only seemed like you could group them
together and not change the order they are in. There just didn't seem to be anymore options once I added the movies to the tag and there's nothing really on that wiki

You can try the <sorttitle></sorttitle> tag in an .nfo.

With respect, but that really doesnt help at all
Basically I do know about using nfos for coverart etc but no idea to do with order in xbmc and it doesn't explain anything to do with it specifically in your link

You simply add a sorttitle tag to the nfo of each movie, as thrak76 indicated. For instance, the movie you want to sort first might have <sorttitle>Alien 1</sorttitle>, the second <sorttitle>Alien 2</sorttitle>, etc.
After you do that editing, you have to refresh each movie in XBMC to get it to read the nfo again. And of course, the library has to be set to sort alphabetically.
