Hi:)
I like organize my movie's list in order by DVD, the only way that i have find to do that is set AMC Group by number but i can't rename the number with a world. There is a way in order to obtain this?
for example:
Spielberg:
ET
Close Encounters of the Third Kind
Minority Report
Tarantino:
Kill Bill 1
Kill Bill 2
etc..
is possible?
Thank's and bye

The field "Media Label" was made for that

NO
media label sort all my movie in the same group
first i have my list in this format
1 (3)
- 1 ET
- 1 Close Encounters of the Third Kind
- 1 Minority Report
2 (2)
- 2 Kill Bill 1
- 2 Kill Bill 2
ect
with media label i have
none (386)
1 ET
1 Close Encounters of the Third Kind
1 Minority Report
2 Kill Bill 1
2 Kill Bill 2
are all in the same group named "none"
Sorry if i explain no good, i want see my list in this mode
Spielberg:
- ET
- Close Encounters of the Third Kind
- Minority Report
Tarantino:
- Kill Bill 1
- Kill Bill 2
what i must do for change the "none" name with the director's name of the film?
what i must do for have the movie not in ONE bug list but separated by dvd (director's)?
Many thank's

But then you have to put the group name in the media field
(and you have some options to put movies of "none" group outside anygroup)
But if you want to have groups by director, why not group by director field

sorry but i can't translate correctly your answer, can u speak easy please?
i can' order by director becouse i have some movie where are some component and aren't exactly in the list.
An example, i have the movie Angel heart by Alan Parker but i haven't it one the Alan Parker DVD but in the Mickey Rourke dvd
So, don't know why i can't rename the group
The best is that i enter the dvd in my DVD, AMC read the movie and request me the name that i want made to the Group.
After i order my catalog by name or the DVD and i see a list like
Musical
Commedy
Tarantino
Spielberg
and if i want see the movie in the Tarantino group i click on in and i see the list
This is the only way speed for find a movie. Don't know why there is no this option

That's why I suggested you to use Media Label.
Put the name of the group in the "Media Label" field of each movie.
So there is a possibility to get what you ask

ok, now is perfect..last question and i stop bugging you
now i have the movie order by label but the number aren't consecutive, for example, i have:
Kubrick
23 - A Space Odyssey
44 - Eyes Wide Shut
Polansk
13 - Le pianiste
80 - Le locataire
Is possible re-order the movie in consecutive alphabetical numbers?
the best if is possible that all the movie have the same number when are in the same label, like
Kubrick
11 - A Space Odyssey
11 - Eyes Wide Shut
Polansk
12 - Le pianiste
12 - Le locataire
Is possible?
Many thank's..for your patience

You will have to modify the number of each movie then.
An automatic solution : if you want for example
Kubrick
11 - A Space Odyssey
12 - Eyes Wide Shut
Polansk
13 - Le pianiste
14 - Le locataire
is to use "Tools" -> "Renumber". Then select "advanced", and select the fields MediaLabel followed by Number.

This is the way I should do it:
Export list to csv, import it in Excel / openoffice Calc, change the numbers, and export it back to .csv, which i then import again in amc.
Or press F2 and change it manually, if the list isnt really big.
Or use the automatic way antp suggested
