To adjust the count (Titles not Profiles), for the Box Set Parent, highlight > Personalise tick the "None" box at the end of the 'Collection Number' area.

Oohhhhh, good one.  OK, that is 80% of the way there.  I reordered after setting all boxsets to None, and now the count at the end (by either moving down to the bottom of my list or by reversing the Collection number column), is correct.  Total DVDs at the top is still incorrect, although I understand it is counting profiles and there is a profile for each of the box sets.  Technically it should read Total Profiles, but I am not going to split hares over it (Bugs would object).

Thanks,
DD.

Not quite sure how you are numbering...but a lot of us number films as individuals, box set films as individual films, whereas the box itself getting the "None" treatment in the personalise window, TV series, here the box is numbered but the child profiles get the "None" treatment.

ie.
Air Force One #1
Air Con #2
Adventures Indianna Jones (box)
  Indianna Jones and Raiders of the Lost Ark #3
  Indianna Jones and Temple of Doom #4
etc
24: Season 1 #6
  24: Season 1: disc 1
  24: Season 1: disc 2
etc
24: Season 2 #7
  24: Season 2: disc 1
  24: Season 2: disc 2
etc

the Total Count at the Top will show as you have found (the total of all the Profiles)
whereas the number count at the bottom of your list will show Total Title Count.

Ah, one more thing.  Here is a tip in case any one else finds this particular discussion and ends up resolving it the same way I did.  Using "Collection - Reassign Collection Numbers" from the DVDP menu is useful, but watch out for any DVDs you have in box sets which have custom sort entries.  For instance, I have the Box Set "Adventures of Indiana Jones".  That correctly came up after place 35 of my collection when ordering alphabetically (I have Box Sets set to None so they don't get a Collection number).  But in order to ensure the movies in the Box Set were listed in order, I added custom sort entries "Indy 1, Indy 2, Indy 3, and Indy 4" to each movie in the Box Set.  That appeared to work perfectly because they were all listed under the parent near the top of my list with all the other movies starting with an "A".  However, when using "Reassign Collection Numbers", they were all given collection numbers in the 200's because the custom sort field started with an "i" so DVDP thought I wanted to give them Collection Numbers just after "Independence Day".

So now my collection went 34, 35, 212, 213, 214, 215, 216, 36, 37, 38, etc.

It's hard to explain, I should up an image.  At any rate, the solution is easy.  Just make sure your custom sort for films within the box set start with the same letters as your Box Set, then they will be assigned Collection Numbers in sequence.  Changing my custom sort entries to "Adventures of Indiana Jones 1, Adventures of Indiana Jones 2, etc." gave them the sequence numbers 36, 37, 38, and 39.

That's usually how I handle box set sorting. :-)  It also has the advantage of keeping things happy in your online collection if you do it that way.  The box set appears first, followed by the child discs.
