I just watched all the "Final Destination" movies and the 4th one is called "The Final Destination". Then the went on to make a 5th, and a 6th is in production.
We just re-watched Spaceballs last night and I still laughed and laughed. There's a scene I don't remember seeing before where Dark Helmet barks an order and a Spaceball replies, "Jawohl, mein Helmet!" And Rick Moranis gives him this look in such a perfectly-timed way that I lost it. Even with the helmet down it worked.
Still not seeing it, lol. I guess you mean it would be their 69, except that you need one to be the upside down version of the other...? I don't know. Someone should write a research paper on this. :D
Unless you're meaning it specifically has to be 2 digits, and therefore XIX doesn't qualify? If so that's fair (it was just the closest analogue I could think of. Maybe II would indeed be better).
If it’s in a list with other films with years first, you wouldn’t be about to visually scan by letter, though. Two “Saw” films could be separated by hundreds of others in between.
Fun fact: In France, Saw VI and Saw VII skipped the numbers because Saw 6 is pronounced like saucisse (sausage) and Saw 7 is pronounced like someone having a lisp saying chaussette (sock)
Even better, you can do it by editing the "sort title" so even in the library they show up in the order you prefer. So in this case I'd change them to be "Saw 01" through "Saw 10" and I won't have to mess with a different view for those circumstances. I do need to go back through and edit a handful more of my movies because I've slacked off lately.
Yeah it's not the end-all-be-all solution for sure, but it helps for a large majority of movie series. I also use Plex Meta Manager to automatically create collections nightly for series, actors, genres, and even a handful of playlists.
Edit: and to add onto your example of Bond, yeah I just make that a playlist because it'd be way too confusing for me and most people who watching from my server.
Another use for 'sort title' is for making collections for things like actors, directors, decades, genres, etc and then sticking them at the top of the library by appending special characters or numbers to the beginning of the sort title, like '#001 Steven Spielberg Collection's
Star Wars and Indiana Jones also have this issue with inconsistent titles, which make the default sorting annoying.
I always liked to use year instead of number. That way it sorts the same and if there end up being more than 9 I don’t have to go back and rename it to 09.
Now I use Jellyfin with the auto collection plugin. It does a great job of grouping everything correctly.
I just always do it out of habit when I number movies because of the rare possibility of a series going into double digits. Obviously I wouldn't need to ever worry about it with LOTR or anything that is definitely over, but regardless it's not painful to go back and edit.
Edit: also I've considered switching to Jellyfin myself, but I've had a Plex Lifetime membership since line 2014 and as annoying as they sometimes are about emailing me, I do like the polish it has.
I wonder if you could make a context aware sorting system for files. Like if there are a handful of files all similarly named, it could check for sequential numbers and roman numerals and spelled out numbers and just sort them that way.
It's an honored slasher film tradition.
So when do we get Jigsaw Takes Manhattan, or Jig in the Hood?
Jesus dude, careful there. 😶
Thanks for the honest laugh from me.
Saw: Dream Warriors please
Don't forget the mandatory one set in space.
There have also been eight subsequent Friday 13th-related movies since its "Final Chapter" :-)
And Freddy came back after Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare.
I just watched all the "Final Destination" movies and the 4th one is called "The Final Destination". Then the went on to make a 5th, and a 6th is in production.
The next one should always be “the search for more money”.
The kids love this one!

Moichendizing!
I can't wait for the 16th mainline installment of Final Fantasy to be released on PC.
Final Fantasy XVI - Part2, Disc B; Universe alpha, Chronicles of that emo kid (not the one you though of, the other one)
No that's different because
To be fair, they do kind of start over with most of them. It's basically a franchise that reboots with every iteration!
Saw_Final_OKREALLYFINALTHISTIME_2.docx
The thing is, if they did have a funny sex number, it probably would've been 19
"XIX"... I'm not seeing it.
It's their first number containing different digits that's the same either way up
(Edited to be more correct)
Except II
Which coincidentally looks like the missionary position.
Lol whoops
I should've said containing different digits
Still not seeing it, lol. I guess you mean it would be their 69, except that you need one to be the upside down version of the other...? I don't know. Someone should write a research paper on this. :D
69 is (our) 69 because the whole thing is the same when you rotate it 180°
As is XIX
:)
I thought it was because the 6 is a dude with his dick out, and 9 is a girl with her tits out, or the 9 is another dude flipped around…
Huh, I thought it was because that’s where the head is.
Well that's one way to think about it lol
69 isn't "the funny" number because it's an ambigram. It's the "funny number" because it's the sex position number.
You're one of that's 10000: https://xkcd.com/1053/ :)
Nah, that's not how 69 works
Yes it is! One person one way, one person the other. From the 180 perspective, the same.

LXXXLXXXV
I think you mean L̅X̅X̅X̅LXXXV
Just put the year first :P
This is true.
If it’s in a list with other films with years first, you wouldn’t be about to visually scan by letter, though. Two “Saw” films could be separated by hundreds of others in between.
That looks solid.
Honestly, if you could just put metadata tags on files and if file search on non-Mac machines didn’t take ages, it wouldn’t even matter.
Or you give the franchise its own folder?
I would do year first but these would all be in sub folder for the franchise
MMIX
They are ordered correctly, alphabetically.
Thatsthejoke.jpg
Lexicographically as well.
Saw VII: The Final Chapter...
...
Saw VIII
Saw IX
Saw X
There is no Saw 9. Like Windows 10, Saw X comes right after 8
It's in alphabetical order and IX is definitely there. Unless I'm missing some other joke.
Oh crap you're totally right lmao. My eyes glazed right over it
To be fair, same, though thankfully I noticed just before saying anything dumb 😂😝
It’s because Saw VII ate IX.
The Final Chapter 2: Electric Boogaloo
Produced by Tom Brady.
Feature request to Microsoft: Roman-numeral-sensitive alphabetical ordering for files. /s
Windows Explorer does not even support the Microsoft versioning system either /s
Are all correctly ordered? – No.
Which one is wrong? – Nein.
- What was Hitler's telephone number?
- 99-99-99.
Fun fact: In France, Saw VI and Saw VII skipped the numbers because Saw 6 is pronounced like saucisse (sausage) and Saw 7 is pronounced like someone having a lisp saying chaussette (sock)
I thought maybe translating "saw" is better, but nah, "La scicisse" et "la sciecette" is pretty cursed too
well, I would have actually watch it!
Better call Saw.
It's all good man.
Saw VI in French takes a whole new meaning…
Saw XI takes a whole new meaning in China.
What does it mean?
"Saw six" is pronounced like "saucisse" which mean sausage.
"six" in english translates to "six" in french
i don't know what to do with this information
You write it six in French but pronounce it “cis”
that just sounds like saying "six" with a french accent
im not sure i believe you
Bah fais comme tu veux, mais j’ai raison.
Qui t’autorise à me tutoyer ?
Ma Saw VI dans ta Saw VII. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Whereas Saw X in English just sounds warm and comfortable.
Yeah it was wild hearing about it on Saw Con lol
I would regularily joke with my friend about going to eat some saw V sequels
Or to anyone whose name is Violet but goes by Vi for short.
Use Unicode Roman Numerals (U+2160 to U+216B), they are correctly sorted:
Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ, Ⅴ, Ⅵ, Ⅶ, Ⅷ, Ⅸ, Ⅹ, Ⅺ, Ⅻ
chronological*
2 is my favorite letter, capital 2
I like lowercase ⁶
(Please nobody else upvote this.)
Reminder that VIIII is a valid way to write 9 in Roman numerals.
What about VIV?
There is historical precedent that the Romans used XIIX for 18, I guess VIV should be fine for 9.
Actually?
Weird plex, but okay.

You can also just change the sort title in the options.
Rocky VII, Adrian's Revenge!
Rocky 5000
Yay! Two Spaceballs references in one thread!
Roman numerals, they never even tried to teach us that in school.
Has anyone watched the latest Saw?
I just downloaded, is worth the watch?
Is it missing saw 3d? I never knew if that was cannon
How TF is it the final chapter then they keep going. I stopped after 2 with the damn pit of needles.
Saucisses is my favourite one
Chaussettes is better IMO.
It's depending if you put your Saw VI in your Saw VII.
I wonder if you could make a context aware sorting system for files. Like if there are a handful of files all similarly named, it could check for sequential numbers and roman numerals and spelled out numbers and just sort them that way.
You can but you'll need either a plugin for your file browser or a custom one
It's the MegaMan situation all over again XD
A cool film that used its low budget creatively has been turned into a crappy franchise on par with Halloween and Friday13th. Shame.
You know what they say, "I before V, except after C". (Or something like that.)
Doesn’t Spiral count?
Saw Mill.
I still remember when Windows File Explorer orders 10 before 2 (I still didn't verify if it still does that and I don't feel like it)
