I see. You are looking for all movies to be grouped in a 'movies group'
together and then sort so that all sequels of a certain movie appear
together and in order, but on the same 'level' as all other movie titles.

To answer one of your original questions: I would be interested in a
customizable grouping and listing much like one can do with mythlink.

It seems this should be a part of the theme to me, but I don't know the
code behind it.
