Sorting not done correctly with Swedish characters - Controller FW 7.4
Last modified: 2011-05-11 13:37:30 UTC
Regardless of language chosen in the controller, Swedish being the obvious choice, songs or artists with Swedish characters ÅÄÖ do not sort correctly. Å and Ä are treated as A, whilst Ö is treated as an O. They should all come after Z, in theis order : ÅÄÖ 7.4.0r7571
Please test if sorting is correct in the web UI Also, try changing the language to English then back to Swedish (in web UI) Does this change the behavior in any way?
Yes sorting is done correctly in the web UI, except in fact in the top line (the clickable alphabet) where Ä comes before Å for some reason. Ö is not there even but neither is X so I guess I don't have any artist starting with those letters... Changing back and forth in web UI, and controller, and restarting controller has no effect. Sorting is still done incorrectly in controller. Do I need to rescan library perhaps...??
BTW, if I have the web UI on English, it sorts in the exact same way as the controller... I would suggest to have both the web UI and the controller to sort correctly irrespective of language. If I remember correctly ÅÄÖ are listed in the ASCII table after Z so it sounds like more of an effort to make Å and Ä to be interpreted as an A than just putting them at the end of the list...
7.4.x milestone is in the past
The sort order for library browsing is controlled by the language of the server, not that of the UI. Changing this to be a server bug.
== Auto-comment from SVN commit #31609 to the slim repo by ayoung == == http://svn.slimdevices.com/slim?view=revision&revision=31609 == bug 16683: Non-ASCII characters in file and directory names Fixed Bug 15805 - Artists sorting incorrectly on 7.5-embedded SQLite Fixed Bug 14800 - Sorting not done correctly with Swedish characters Bug 13153 - Both web interface and squeezebox "hang" when one browses folders containing non-ascii chars Set LC_COLLATE so that SQLite database sorting using perlcollate works for different languages.
When server PC was set to Swedish REgion/Language, the character sorted correctly (they appeared at the end) THis was also true for Norwegian. So its not just the player or the web-UI but the locale of the server machine. 7.6.0.32398
