Sample movie order:
The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai
Bella
No Country for Old Men
Breach
???
Bueller? Anyone? No one else is having this issue?
I've studied this further and figured out that with "Movies > Unwatched (Grid View)" and with "View > Sort Movies> By Title," what I get is my movies sorted by Artist (only two of the unwatched movies in my collection have artists lsited) then by year, then alphabetically by title for movies with no year listed.
And when I have "View > Sort Movies > By Title" selected, the 'Within Movies' option list is greyed-out. If I sort by any other criteria in the list, I can use the 'Within Movies' options.
Grrrrr! This doesn't even come close to working right--VERY un-Mac.
Somebody, please commiserate!
I feel your pain....
iTunes could really use user-controlled multi-variable sorting.

Having the same issue myself and hoping ofaway to work around this. 😟
Not that it helps any but I've determined that the sort order of Unwatched is governed by Album Artist.

So, turingtest2 has it exactly right... Unwatched movies view is sorted by Album Artist. So here's a nice little fix for that... you can go through and manually copy the Name of the movie into the Album Artist field, but if you have a lot of movies in this category, it will be tedious. A better option, is to go to www.dougscripts.com, and download the This Tag, That Tag applet. You can find a link here. You can then select ALL of your unwatched movies, run the applet, and elect to copy the movie Name into the Album Artist field. Boom! And since Doug has done such an awesome job of saving you a bunch of time and effort, throw him a little donation.
Peace,

In my Movies list, what order are movies sorted in when viewing the 'Unwatched' tab in grid view? Because it sure isn't 'by title' like I have selected. What gives?
