mattlines Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 If I sort the playlist by album it arranges the songs in the album in alphabetical order instead of the track number. Any way to change this? Link to comment https://forum.powerampapp.com/topic/15588-is-there-any-way-to-sort-a-playlist-by-album-and-track-number/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewilley Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 No, there is only one sort level for songs in a Playlist. If your songs are properly organised into a folder per album, and with the filenames starting with the track number, why not try using filename sorting (which will includes the path in the sort order, and thus sort by foldername then filename)?

mattlines Posted November 28, 2018 Author Share Posted November 28, 2018 I tried that and it sorts all of the track one's first, then all of the two's, and so on.

andrewilley Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 As long as the songs for each album are all saved neatly within their own folder, the filename sort should sort by folder name first, the filenames within the folder.

mattlines Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 Well it's not working like that at all, and I can assure you that my folders are neat. I can even send you a screenshot to see for yourself. BTW, I appreciate you taking the time to help me with this. Poweramp is by far my favorite Android music player and I would love to see everything working properly.

mattlines Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 First pic is the playlist sorted by filename, the next 3 are folders of albums in that playlist.

andrewilley Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 Strange, when I tried it yesterday the sorting was by pathname/filename. I'll check again for you.
