| | Posted: | | | | My question is sort of different one. I have box sets that I don't want to include in my collection of single movies. Is there a way to set up numbering to include a custom format. I would like to number my box sets for example B001, B002 etc. Currently I don't number my box sets. I welcome any and all ideas. |

| | Posted: | | | | You can't use alphanumerical characters in the collection number field.
As an alternative you could use extreme high numbers for your boxsets, for instance start at 25000. | | | View my collection at http://www.chriskepolis.be/home/dvd.htm

My question is sort of different one. I have box sets that I don't want to include in my collection of single movies. Is there a way to set up numbering to include a custom format. I would like to number my box sets for example B001, B002 etc. Currently I don't number my box sets. I welcome any and all ideas. I have my collection sorted by film title, but have it so all of my High Def discs (Blu-ray & HD DVD) are first. You may be able to do something similar with your boxsets, by personalizing the title. For example, I have added a " (HD)" - no quotes, before the film title of all my Blu-ray & HD DVD. When I sort by title, this places all of my High Def discs at the top of my list and then sorts all of my DVDs separately, following the last Blu-ray or HD DVD title. If you take a look at my collection, you'll see that, currently, numbers 1 through 296 are Blu-ray & HD DVD. The DVDs start with number 297. For example one my personalized high def titles looks like this: (HD) Your Movie of ChoiceMaybe you can substitute "(Boxset)" instead so if you are sorting by title, your boxsets will be grouped together? Just an idea. | | | | Peace--->Rhoq | | | | Last edited: by Rhoq |

| | Posted: | | | | I wish we could you alpha only for numbering. That would be helpful to me for defining my BD. I know I only have one at this time but I'm thinking long term. |

| | Posted: | | | | Since it's unlikely that I will get to this number anytime in the near future I started my box sets at 100000. It works out better for my anal retentiveness. |
