Hi,

When I drag and drop some music files in the "Original Files" area, those appears to be sorted automatically in the alphabetic order (even if I select them in the opposite order in Windows Explorer). Ex.:




After "Matching" them (using "ID3 tags"), the music files appears neither sorted on the "Original Files" nor on the "New Names" ?! Ex.:




It would be convenient for me to be able to sort them either on the "Original Files" or on the "New Names" so I can check easily that everything is fine (Especially when I drag many files for various artists/albums).

Is there a trick for that ? Searching for "sort" in the forum I mainly find topics about scripting... nothing on the UI.
Actually, I cannot figure out how they are sorted after a "Match"?!

Thx a lot in adv for any tip on this!!

PS.: You can see here a sample where I have a mix of albums. In this case, I would like to sort them on the new names to see them grouped by artist/album

That's an issue with certain NAS types that don't list file alphabetically natively. I'll see if I can force order on my application code.

Fixed with r2700.

As for custom sorting, that's not supported.

THX!!! It works now fine. Original files keep sorted...

Is this something you're considering for a future release?

The ability in the Rename pane (either Original Files (or both sides)) to sort in a Windows column-like format (name, numeric name, size, date, etc.) would be a fantastic addition...
