"Duration" category in "Presentation"

Hello,
would it be possible to add "Duration" category to Presentation for Videos?
I mean:
The categories like Titles, Movies, Series, Last Viewed, Genres, User Ratings, etc, there would be a New category: Video Duration
It would be very useful for me, as I often select movies based on my "available" time, I often have limited time only, and I loose many minutes while searching for any "shorter" movies, (~90 mins). Now if I want to know the duration of a movie, I have to Play it, and the initial starting (buffering) takes pretty long time, just to find out, that it is again a 3 hours movie...so I have to try something else.

With this new feature, I would be able to browse movies based on movie length, for example, there may be categories like:
0-60 mins, 61-90 mins, 91-120 mins, etc...
where I would see only movies which have the given duration.

Thank you in advance. Kind regards,
Zoltan

Re: "Duration" category in "Presentation"

Now that this feature has been implemented is there any way to make more sub-categories in "Duration"? Now there is only 4 and they are divided very coarsely. I would like to have separate categories spaced 10 minutes from each other like 60-70, 70-80, 80-90 minutes and so on. Can I do this by editing something somewhere?

No it's hardcoded.

The 4 already seem a lot, tbh. I'd argue most people will look for something less than 90 min most of the time.
