Kaleidescape - Please please add the ability to sort (alphabetical, purchase date, release date, maybe genre, etc) within the My Movies section of the store onscreen. In its current form the My Movies is just in random order and endlessly scrolls - not useful at all for picking a movie. On my own I can use my phone or laptop but with the family or any group it is much preferable for everyone to view all movies owned onscreen when making a movie choice. Even for those with a server (I do not) you can only view/sort downloaded movies, not all owned movies. Lots of users now own standalone models or have storage for only a portion of their library. I have 500+ movies. I will never be able to afford storage for all of them. Thanks!
 
You can force it to put them in alphabetical instead of random. But, am I the only person thats annoyed by having to scroll left and right along with up and down? I don't know why, but I hate that.

I have never seen an option to sort alphabetically.

It’s in the settings menu of the on screen interface. I’d have to look to find exactly where.

If you have a server you can change movie wall sorting to alphabetical for downloaded movies. That's not what I'm talking about. This is for the My Movies section of the store that shows all owned (downloaded or not) movies.

Not sure what you're looking for. Using a browser to access the movie store: My Movies -> All My Movies -> Sort by Title

You can't play a movie from here but you can locate one. Perhaps I don't understand your question.

Not the web UI. The onscreen UI.

You can access this from the onscreen UI. The movie store is part of the interface. Maybe you are calling this web as it has some similar functionality as the K store. You open and navigate to the Movie Store and then far right is “My Movies”. Not sure there are sorting options!

Yes as noted in my original post the "My Movies" section of the store in the actual player UI will display all owned movies. I never called it the web UI. It is NOT sortable and is in random order. That is the issue. I'm not sure why this has been so confusing. Doesn't anyone sit down with family or a group and want to browse all movies owned on the big screen?

You are correct. They should have a contest of who can figure out the sorting logic default for my movies. Goodness…
