Renumbering: take into account boxsets |

| Posted: | | | | A small enhancement (or bug fix?) would be the following. When you renumber your collection based on purchase date, the software renumbers same-day entries in the alphabetical order. The problem with that is that you then get child profiles that are not numbered sequentially, which looks pretty awkward. It would make more sense that child profiles are numbered together when renumbering. |

| Posted: | | | | Except that some children of boxsets are not all bought at the same time, since the introduction of boxsets within boxsets.
My Monster Legacy Set has four children, all bought at different times. Their collection numbers would no longer correspond to "Purchase Date" if Ken did what you are suggesting. | | | Hal |

The first priority will be the purchase date. Since you applied different purchase dates, they will not suddenly be numbered sequentially.
The request, as I understood it, was for "same-day entires". So, IF purchased on same date AND part of the same Box Set, THEN number sequentially. | | | Achim [諾亞信; Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan. Registered: May 29, 2000 (at InterVocative) |

| Posted: | | | | I'd personally prefer if profiles purchased on the same day maintained their current ordering in relation to each other. Just because something was purchased on the same day is not an acceptable reason to re-order them. | | | Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here. Create fake parent profiles to organize your collection. |

My Monster Legacy Set has four children, all bought at different times. Their collection numbers would no longer correspond to "Purchase Date" if Ken did what you are suggesting. You obviously did not read my post well. I am not saying anything about additional members bought at a later date (I also have boxes like that and there it is fine and desirable that the newly bought members have higher numbers). I am specifically talking about children that are all bought on the same day. E.g. I bought 2 (full) boxes and 2 DVDs on the same day. The collection numbers are like: Box1 = 839, 840, 843 Box2 = 841, 842, 845 DVD1 = 844 DVD2 = 846 I guess I'm not alone finding this awkward and preferring that all members of each box have sequential numbers. PS: I already found a workaround though, although it is far from optimal: you can modify the Sort title to make sure that all members stick together. E.g. If you have a box "Actor A Trilogy" with members "Movie 1", "Film 2", "Animation 3", you could give them sort title "Actor A Trilogy 1", "..2" and "..3". The major problem with this however, is that if you sort ignoring the parent profiles, you will see your "Movie 1", "Film 2" and "Animation 3" somewhere between "Action Fraction" and "Addicted". | | | Last edited: by hevanw |

Yup, failure to comprehend on my part. Now I understand. | | | Hal |
