Could Blu-ray.com please implement the alphabetical-sorting bar now available for Blu-ray and DVD collections (and their sub-collections) on the Theatrical / PS3 Collections lists as well?
Updating the HTML PHP calls on the template are I imagine almost as easy as copy & pasting a line of code over from one of the pages with the feature already implemented; but I'm not familiar with how easy it would be to modify the server side code which would have to render the new alpha-sorted display.
For example; the HTML for the blu-ray collection alpha bar on the rendered web page for my collection looks like this:
Code:
<a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&letter=A" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">A</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&letter=B" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">B</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&letter=C" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">C</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&letter=D" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">D</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&letter=E" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">E</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&letter=F" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">F</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&letter=G" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">G</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&letter=H" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">H</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&letter=I" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">I</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&letter=J" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">J</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&letter=K" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">K</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&letter=L" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">L</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&letter=M" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">M</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&letter=N" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">N</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&letter=O" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">O</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&letter=P" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">P</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&letter=Q" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">Q</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&letter=R" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">R</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&letter=S" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">S</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&letter=T" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">T</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&letter=U" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">U</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&letter=V" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">V</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&letter=W" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">W</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&letter=X" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">X</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&letter=Y" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">Y</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&letter=Z" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">Z</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&letter=0-9" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">0-9</h3></a><br><br>
... and because the dvd collection alpha bar for my collection looks like this:
Code:
<a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&categoryid=21&letter=A" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">A</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&categoryid=21&letter=B" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">B</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&categoryid=21&letter=C" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">C</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&categoryid=21&letter=D" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">D</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&categoryid=21&letter=E" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">E</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&categoryid=21&letter=F" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">F</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&categoryid=21&letter=G" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">G</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&categoryid=21&letter=H" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">H</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&categoryid=21&letter=I" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">I</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&categoryid=21&letter=J" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">J</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&categoryid=21&letter=K" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">K</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&categoryid=21&letter=L" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">L</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&categoryid=21&letter=M" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">M</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&categoryid=21&letter=N" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">N</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&categoryid=21&letter=O" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">O</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&categoryid=21&letter=P" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">P</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&categoryid=21&letter=Q" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">Q</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&categoryid=21&letter=R" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">R</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&categoryid=21&letter=S" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">S</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&categoryid=21&letter=T" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">T</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&categoryid=21&letter=U" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">U</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&categoryid=21&letter=V" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">V</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&categoryid=21&letter=W" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">W</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&categoryid=21&letter=X" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">X</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&categoryid=21&letter=Y" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">Y</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&categoryid=21&letter=Z" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">Z</h3></a> <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/community/collection.php?u=100925&categoryid=21&letter=0-9" style="text-decoration: none"><h3 style="color: #222222">0-9</h3></a>
... it makes sense that the rendered html code for the alpha bar for my theatrical collection should look like this:
Code:

(DVD Collections are category "21" and Theatrical Collections are category "20")
If I were to sort my DVD collection by the letter E, this URL is what is sent to blu-ray.com's servers to render the page:
https://www.blu-ray.com/community/co...id=21&letter=E
("u=100925" is my user number and "categoryid=21" tells the server to print my DVD collection, while "letter=E" of course tells the server to sort by E.)
Thus the link to my Theatrical collection, sorted by E, ought to be:
https://www.blu-ray.com/community/co...id=20&letter=E
... but that alone doesn't work because the server apparently doesn't know how to do the same kind of sort on "categoryid=20" yet.
It does, however, stick the "E" into the theatrical collection's header ("My theatrical collection - E (333 movies)". Of course, I don't have 333 movies beginning with E; the server only counts what it returns, and it currently returns my entire theatrical collection.
If this feature could be expanded to cover both users' Theatrical and PS3 collections, I'm sure it will be appreciated by many (especially those with over 50 or so items in either category.
Thank you!!

P.S.
If, after that is complete, we can have a way to view all of our blu-rays at one time, NOT broken apart by "Owned" or "For Sale" sub-categories, but all in one all-inclusive alphabetical list, that would be super-handy too.
Thanks again!
