audiofile.flac Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Hello, I'm trying to sort my files with filename. I have them numbered as 1, 2, 3, ..... And so on till 1013. However Poweramp is displaying starting with 1, 10, 100, 1000, 1001, 1002... etc... (See Screenshot 1 below) PS : I also created a custom .m3u8 with the proper filenames and order, but when I tried to sort by filename in the playlist, the same thing happened. (screenshot 2) How do I change the sorting options to show in proper numbered list starting from 1, 2, 3... ending in the last number 1013?

However Poweramp is displaying starting with 1, 10, 100, 1000, 1001, 1002... etc... (See Screenshot 1 below) Poweramp's alphabetical sorting process uses plain ASCII text sorting, so the above is exactly how content should be sorted (individual digits are just another type of alphabetical character as far a sorting goes, they are not consecutively processed to generate larger numbers). To force numerical processing of alpha-sorted text, you need to pad out the smaller numbers with enough leading zeros to cover all of your possibilities - so 0001, 0002, 0010, 0011, 0100, 0101, etc. Exactly the same principle as you'd use for prefixing track numbers as 01, 02, 03, 10, 11, 12, etc for filenames in album folders. There is a existing Feature Request for 'smart' sorting options, which would include numeric interpretation of consecutive strings of digits, which you can vote for here (once your account has enough activity): Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrewilley Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 Hmm, should be OK after 3 posts and a few days. Try going via the main voting index (you can place votes directly on that page too): https://forum.powerampapp.com/ideas/?mode=popular Andre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
