Incorrect sort order for FLAC songs
Last modified: 2009-09-08 09:28:08 UTC
In Fishbone, browse by folder, whilst the sort order for MP3s is by artist (although listed as 'title' by 'artist'), when browsing to a FLAC folder all songs are sorted by title instead (although still listed as 'title' by 'artist'). This is inconsistent and makes scanning the list for an artist extremely difficult.
is this ONLY on the fishbone skin??
I tried creating a folder of FLAC files, and this is the track title listing (in order): Fall to Pieces Bring Me To Life My Last Breath. I can't reproduce the sort by track title. something to consider. I believe sorting while browsing folder is just the raw order of the scan, thus genre-album-artist-tracknumber (this seems consistent with the order of the tracks above: genre is all Rock, album order is Contraband, Fallen, Fallen). Perhaps look at your MP3 files and FLAC files again to just confirm the genre/album info to make sure the track title sorting that you see isn't just coincidence. The only other sorting style is by filename, which you should also take a look at just to be sure. that is about the best I can suggest.
in the absence of more details, I belive the browse music folder sorting is consistent with the design of the server and that the tagging in this case is appearing as a differing sort, but it still according to design. Please re-open if there are more details or a specific request regarding desired changes to the design.
Routine bug db maintenance; removing old versions which cause confusion. I apologize for the inconvenience.
