## Promotion
- Use sort_title to promote and demote certain collections
- start with `+` to promote to top of library
- start with `~` to demote to bottom of a library
Prefix suggestions:
```
# Prefixes for (Movie) Collections:
# +01_ = Charts
# +02_ = Holidays
# +03_ = Studios or Network
# +04_ = Genres
# +05_ = Countries
# +06_ = Awards
# +07_ = Collections
# +08_ = Decades
# +09_ = People
# +10_ = General
```
## Visibility
- `visible_library`, `visible_home` and `visible_shared`
- `true`, `false` or [schedule](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager/wiki/Schedule-Detail) available for all options
## Scheduling
- Save time by updating lesser-important collections and playlists less frequently:
- ex. `schedule: weekly(wednesday), weekly(sunday)`

## Sorting
- https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager/wiki/Plex-Builders#sort-options
- If a collection is made of multiple lists, can't use `custom`
- Recommend sorting instead by `popularity.desc`

- Can't use `collection_order` for Plex `smart_filter` rules. Replacements:
- `collection_order: release` -> `sort_by: release.desc`
- `collection_order: alpha` -> `sort_by: title.desc`
- `collection_order: custom` -> `sort_by: ??`
## Filters
- Type restrictions
- Plex `smart_filter`/`plex_search`: Use, i.e. `type: episodes`, to limit collection to [specific type](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager/wiki/Plex-Builders#special-attributes)
- All other rules: Use, i.e., `collection_level: episodes`, to limit collection to [specific type](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager/wiki/Metadata-Details#metadata-details)
