Sorting sometimes not working

Help

Hello, I have a sorting problem. I tried renaming the "sorting titles" to 1, 2, 3... or 01, 02, 03... but both doesn't always work (though it should be foolproof in my eyes). What am I doing wrong?

You're not telling us enough to help you.

Movies, TV Shows, Music?

What does your folder and file naming look like?

I didn't think this was important. Movies. Why does the naming matter if I sort them myself?

Is it working?

It worked until today. Ok, so I copied the whole marvel collection into my movie folder. Wanted to sort them in the order they shall be played. Some weren't recognized with the right title, so I corrected them. After that I startet renaming the sorting titles, but although I renamed it to 1, 2, 3... or 01, 02, 03... it was split into 3, 17, 18, 20, 26, 27 and the the rest from 1 upwards. This happens to some other media libraries too.

I put the Fast and Furious movies in a Playlist in their correct order. That should work for you.

You aren't saying what the issue is.

Is Plex putting B before A or what?

Give a real example.
