Ability to sort Chinese and Japanese songs

[WMK965]

Hi! I bought Poweramp from play store and I really enjoy its wonderful design and powerful codec.

 

I ran into some problem while using it. The program just can't sort my Chinese and Japanese songs, they just be categorized into "#". 

 

The best way to sort Chinese song is by pinyin, like the picture attached, after Bada Boom by Cash Cash, there're three Chinese songs: 摆脱 (bai tuo), 白马非马 (bai ma fei ma) and 伴虎 (ban hu) all by 许嵩 (Xu Song), Barcelona by Ed Sheeran in the end. Pinyin can transform Chinese characters into Roman Alphabet so it can easily sort Chinese songs. Japanese also has similar tool called romaji.

 

Here are some repositories about this topic:

[VOTE] List Options tickbox for 'smart' sorting of any alphanumeric fields - e.g. human-style sorting of long numbers (1,2,3,10,11,12,100,101,102), improved sorting of non-English characters, ignore punctuation marks at the start of text tags, etc.

I'm sorry for the duplicate post. Do you mean this request? I'll check it out.
