| | Posted: | | | | Locally you could use the sort titles, and call them Die Hard 1,2,3,4 in the sort field.
If you have the sweet Ultimate Collection of the first 3 films, or even the newer boxset, you could locally use the "edit boxset contents" and put Live Free in the box.
Not sure if anything can be done for the online list. The titles are just too off methinks. | | | | Last edited: by bigdaddyhorse |

| | Posted: | | | | ...or you could make a manual profile, and edit that to make it a box set with all the Die Hard movies in it. There are lots of people that have done that to group seasons of the same TV series together. There is even a site dedicated to custom cover arts for those manual profiles. (Can't find the link at the moment) EDIT: Found the link to the thread about custom disc arts for virtual box sets: http://www.invelos.com/Forums.aspx?task=viewtopic&topicID=195670 | | |

| | Posted: | | | | As bigdaddy said, you cna edit the sort titles (Die Hard 1, 2, 3, 4) and they will all sort by title together. This will also carry over to your online collection, as long as you have it set to display by sorted by title. You can see this by looking at my online collection by clicking the disc icon in my post. | | | | Kevin |

| | Posted: | | | | I've done that with the Die Hard titles, they're all sorted together.
I don't know why I haven't brought myself to do it with the Evil Dead films, though.
At one point, I think I considered sorting the X-Files movie between seasons, since it was released after season 5, I think (?) |

| | Posted: | | | | in your original post you said a better way to link the profiles. How do you mean. the sort title would just keep them sorted together. the manual profile box set (what reybr suggested) would have the one profile with a plus to the left and then underneath that (when you expand the set).
if you mean link some other way, like you can do with cast and crew to see other profiles they are in, then i don't think you can do that.

| | Posted: | | | | enter in the search? if you check the substring search checkbox they should behave this way.

| | Posted: | | | | when you are searching by filters (either to add, or in your collection) next to where you type in the title there is a box labeled 'substring search' if you click on this (a check mark will appear in it) and it will look for the text you type anywhere in the title (not just the begining)

| | Posted: | | | | Ahhh, I think I see what you are looking at now. You are typing the title in the little "quick search" box in the tool bar. It looks to me like that is filtering on Title only.
If you click on the collection list, then just start typing Die the cursor will jump to Die Hard (assuming you don't have another title that starts with Die) and if your sort titles are set, then Live Free or Die Hard will be right there in the list.
Alternatively, you can use the filter window, (Ctrl-F if you don't have is showing in your layout) and tick the Substring Search tick box. The quick search box will use substring search after that, but from my quick test, it does not remember that setting after you close profiler. | | | | Kevin |

| | Posted: | | | | forgot about the quick search, that explains he didn't see the substring checkbox and was confused as to what i was talking about.
However I just checked and even with the sort title of Live Free or Die Hard set to Die Hard 4 it does not come up in the search results when searching Die Hard. You still need to check the substring check box.
The filter not keeping the settings has also been mentioned before, in respect to the and/or check box at least.
and i think i saw a post yesterday or today (in feature request forum i think) about having the search also search by sort title.

| | Posted: | | | | Im not sure about the filter solution, if it disapperas after I close then that will not work for me. The other solution still does not work. Quoting antolod: Quote:

-Agrare yes and no, i did mention it in there (to add) but also was refering to it in the filters box (in your collection) antolod picked up on the quick search in his post (right above yours) and explains about the advanced filters -Agrare |
