| | Posted: | | | | So I may be completly missing this, but I want to sort my movies by actor. That is, I would like to know which actor appears in the most movies that I own. I thought I'd just be able to go into the 'Cast' tab and click on the 'Credits' column and it'd sort them, but that doesn't seem to work. Does anyone know of a way to do this? | | | •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

| | Posted: | | | | It's afaik not possible in DVD Profiler itself, but with the help of the "Database Query" plug-in you can do a search for the most credited actor. (see: http://www.invelos.com/Downloads.aspx?display=plugins or http://doena-soft.de/MarkHarrison/DatabaseQueryAbout.htmAfter installing just go to "Tools" --> "Database Query" and check the box to include cast & crew (this may take a while). Then go to "Cast", select "name in the upper query field and "Top X People" below. This brings up the list.  And when you click on one of the names it shows you all the profiles he is credited in.  I hope this helps. |

| | Posted: | | | | I could be remembering wrong, but I think there might be another plug in out there that all it does is pull up cast/crew stats. I had to reformat my computer recently and reinstall Profiler, so I know I don't have it anymore. (I double checked, but it wasn't there). I know I like using Database Query too, but I am pretty sure this one was more specialized in cast/crew stats. | | | | Lori |

| | Posted: | | | | No, it was definitely a plug in. I remember that much at least. edit: Just did a google search for it and it may have been the Simple Statistics plug in but that does not seem to be available anymore. | | | | Lori | | | | Last edited: by LJG |
