Shit headline, they removed all sorting orders, the only order now is algorithm.

“What happened to sorting by date in Netflix?”, is filled with frustrated users who used the feature to keep track of new additions that the algorithm neglected to push to their homepage.

Another thread, “Alphabetical option gone,” highlights how difficult it is to browse specific genres now. “Sometimes I just want to scroll through a straight list of all the horror movies they have without the algorithm hiding older titles from me,” one Redditor complained. “Taking away basic A-Z sorting makes zero sense.”

I suppose if you wanna use netflix properly now you need to search on a 3rd party site.

I feel this, I like my Jellyfin library being perfectly deterministic, and knowing exactly what it means if something does not appear at a certain spot in the results. No need to ask myself if the algorithm has developed a sudden distaste for lord of the rings or the license has expired and the digitized bluray has spontaneously self-destructed in my nas.
