Respecting sort titles with Emby add-on?

I'm using the latest stable release of MrMC on the Shield. I've noticed that sort titles don't seem to be respected with the Emby add-on. Is this feature implemented, or is there something wrong with my setup? Sort titles do indeed work with the Plex add-on.

Sure thing. Sorry for the crappy phone photo. See how the Harry Potter films are all out of order in MrMC on the TV (using the Emby add-on). In Emby, I've edited the metadata so that the sort titles are 'Harry Potter [year of release]'. This puts the films all in the proper order. This doesn't seem to be respected in MrMC; it's still sorting everything alphabetically. Interestingly, with the Plex add-on in MrMC, the sort title IS respected.

It’s a bit difficult, we sort by title alphabetically by default, you could set it to “playlist “ and it should show it the way it came from emby server.

Hmm, when I sort by playlist, all the titles seem to be arranged randomly.

You dev guys know there is still a bug in the sort results list with Emby Client, right ?

Because sort results differ compared to sorting in a dedicated Emby app when cycling sort types.
