When I add a movie to my "owned" list it used to go to the top of the list and when I was ready I would Reassign Collection numbers into alphabetical order.  Now when I add a movie it goes right into alphabetical order. Is there a way to keep them at the top of my list until I choose to Reassign the Collection Numbers?

Sort the list in the owned to the collection numbers, ascending, as there is no number yet it should be on top.
Another way would be to make the purchase date column vissible and sort on this one, not 100% shure about this one.

Actually when I move a film (profile) to the owned it automatically assigns the next collection number in ascending order - so I would guess that your first suggestion would put it at the bottom if they have a number at all.

So if the OP wants to ensure there is no number then he needs to tick the NONE box for collection number whilst moving to owned

Before I add the movie to my Owned list I always delete the collection number but it still goes into alphabeticle order and there is a blank space for the collection number.

It goes into alphabetical order because of the sort title.

It never has before until I reassign the collection #'s.  It used to stay at the top of the list until I reassigned them.

Not if you generally sort by reverse collection number, then the highest is at the top.

the OP said that he re-created the collection numbers so that these were in ascending order of title. Unless he had the titles in descending order then this would leave the existing highest collection number at the bottom of the list. If you then add a new title and this gets a collection number assigned then this would be the next largest number (and if the list is sorted by collection number would put this at the bottom)

Note - I was only refering to the OP situation. Obviously if you sort by collection number in reverse order then the highest would be at the top.

Is this an oxymoron?.., Can you sort Collection numbers into alphabetical order, or Numerical order ???
