| sort_by | Controls the sort method for the collections | `release.desc` | Any sort method in the [Sorts Options Table](#sort-options) |
| collection_section | Controls the sort order of these collections against other default collections | `10` | Any number |
| collection_mode | Controls the collection mode of these collections | `default` | `default` - Library default<br/>`hide` - Hide Collection<br/>`hide_items`- Hide Items in this Collection<br/>`show_items` - Show this Collection and its Items |

The below shows an example config.yml with all the template_variables set away from their defaults:
```yaml
libraries:
Movies:

- pmm: genre
template_variables:

collection_section: 5
collection_mode: show_items
use_separator: false

# UK Content Rating Default Metadata File
The `- pmm: content_rating_uk` Metadata File is used to dynamically create collections based on the content ratings available in your library.
If you do not use the UK-based rating system within Plex, this file will attempt to match the standard ratings (such as PG-13) to the respective UK rating system (such as 12)

Dynamic Collections attributes can also be edited to tweak the setup of the collections. The YAML file which creates the `genre` collections can be found [here](https://github.com/meisnate12/Plex-Meta-Manager/blob/defaults/defaults/both/genre.yml)
An example of this is; to map the "Children" genre to "Family", the following template variable can be used:
```yaml
libraries:
Movies:
metadata_path:
- pmm: genre
template_variables:
addons:
Family:
- Children
```
