Yes. I was thinking of something related to this the other day - The Movie Picker, not something that I use but was just curious to see what it suggested I watched. I can't remember the exact film/TV series it suggested but it was one in the middle of the series. If we could link connected profiles together in order then the Picker could then be configured to not suggest a specific title until you've watched the previous one(s).

So yes, I support this.

Nice idea, but here are a few ideas you can possibly use to simulate the functionality requested.

Not really linking, but you can alter the sort titles so when you list them, they are listed together in chronological order.

You can also create flags per sequel group.

Another alternative is to create fake profiles as boxset placeholders.

As I was typing my above post I was simultaneously tagging every profile in my collection that is or has a sequel or prequel.  There are 233 profiles now sporting that tag.  Filtering on that tag shows all those profiles together, which although more handy than having them unfiltered, it isn't anywhere near close to having the funcionality of my request.

The only other way to filter down further that I can see would be to create a child tag for every group of linked movies.  Assuming that the average group contains 3 films then there would be 77 tags (or flag sets if you do it that way), not very practical.

As for the sort title suggestion, I don't want to mess up my sort order just for this 1 feature.  Same goes for manual profiles.  I have enough manual profiles I have to filter out before applying another filter/sort to get the desired results.

I think it would be great to have a small window or section of another window that displayed the titles of the other profiles in the group and linked to them like in the cast window.

@Forget-
Yes! I like that idea very much.  Good thinking 

I go the route of creating manual profiles to group things.  I just tag all those profiles so they're easy to sort out.  So I have a manual profile called James Bond and put all my bond movies in there.  Works great.

Would be great for owners of (e.g.) the single releases of "Letters from Iwo Jima" and "Flags of Our Fathers". Except for giving them either strange sorting titles, or creating a virtual boxset there's currently no possibilty of getting them "linked"

Thanks for all the workaround suggestions guys but my original request still stands.  And thanks to all who +1'ed 

I use the Sort Title for this option. I have all the James Bond Movies sorted as "James Bond 1" to"James Bond 23". I have also done this with the Die Hard, Harry Potter, Underworld, Mission Impossible, Pirates of the Caribbean and Matrix movies.

Mark, do you have a start-up batch that will filter out those profiles by default, so that the DVD list is in the original state when starting up...?

I don't.  But I imagine it wouldn't be too hard.  And I have a visual reference in my signature.
