I have been using iTunes to manage my media library for over a decade and I've been pretty happy with it, I especially make heavy use of smart playlists.
One smart playlist I've been using lately is watching the entire Star Trek library in order of release date, both the movies and TV episodes. This was accomplished by making a smart playlist for the TV episodes that had two simple rules, that "Star Trek" is in the name, and that the play count is 0. I did the same for the movies. Then I made a smart playlist that pulled all the media from both playlists. I then sorted it in iTunes by chronological order, and bam, all set, I could watch them from my AppleTV in chronological order.
Last weekend I upgraded my MacMini running iTunes to Big Sur. Now when I pull up ANY playlist from the "Computer" app on the AppleTV is no longer respects the sort order, the playlist is now in an arbitrary order, and nothing I I've found server end will fix it. Is there a way to accomplish this, or do I need to roll back to Mojave?
