OK, for the Marvel Cinematic Universe example....
Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Iron Man 3 should all appear in the main movie library under I-R-O-N-_-M-A-N-0-1, I-R-O-N-_-M-A-N-0-2 and I-R-O-N-_-M-A-N-0-3
Thor and Thor: The Dark World should appear in the main movie library under T-H-O-R-0-1 and T-H-O-R-0-2
The Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron should appear in the main movie library under A-V-E-N-G-E-R-S-0-1 and A-V-E-N-G-E-R-S-0-2
And so on.
Under the main MOVIES menu item I have a sub-menu item called "Series" which links to a number of smart playlists of various film series. One being the MCU, where all the films are listed in the playlist in their MCU order. Because Thor and Captain America: The First Avenger were both released in 2011 if sorting the playlist by year Captain America ends up before Thor alphabetically instead of after as the playlist dictates. The same thing will happen with Avengers: Age of Ultron and Ant-Man.
I DO NOT want my main movie library to get to M-A-R-V-E-L and suddenly have Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, Iron Man 2, Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger, The Avengers, Iron Man 3 etc.
So to summarize, I already use sort order to put these films in a proper alphabetic order in the movie library. I want to have a sub-section where I can put them, or any films I choose, in a specific playlist order of my choosing. My ipod could do this a decade ago.
