Sort Titles doesn't apply

[skuid87]

So I'm having an issue where the sort title function doesn't seem to execute upon first run of the script. Settings seem to be correct and the logs don't report any errors. It even shows the step for Setting the sort titles but does so in nano seconds and moves on without completing. If I run the recipe again immediately after, it seems to work on 2nd run.

Any suggestions on how to resolve?

Recipe:

new_library:
  name: 'Trending Movies'
  folder: '/mnt/dynamic/trending/'
  sort: true
  sort_title:
    format: '{number}. {title}'
    visible: true
    absolute: false # Skips numbers for missing items
  # Limit the age (in years) of items to be considered
  # * 0 for no limit
  max_age: 0
  # Maximum number of items to keep in the library
  max_count: 30
  # Remove items that no longer exist in the source lists
  remove_from_library: true
