Combining multiple movies into one area in Plex? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Right now, it's a bit difficult to go through all of my movies. I know I can create and sort by collection, genre, etc., but it doesn't help when browsing for movies to watch. What I'd like to do is group, for example, all the Harry Potter movies together. Or all the Star Wars movies together. Right now, they take up an inordinate amount of space. Is there a way to configure Plex to have them in a sort of subfolder that expands when selected?

Both of those solutions are the same thing. You need to create collections (or check the "automatically create collections" option) in order to pare down all the movies from being shown directly in the library. You can also create your own smart collections for Genres and Decades in order to make it easier to find something to watch. All these can also be 'pinned' to the top of the library by adding special characters to the beginning of the "sort name."

I've also split out my libraries by regular/animated for both TV and movies so Movies, Animated Movies, Television, Animated Television. It works pretty well for me and I have about 3k movies at this point.
