Small issue with Track# sorting (MC26.0.94) - [SOLVED]
« on: July 16, 2020, 03:02:55 pm »
Some time ago I finally found a solution for an issue which I've had for many, many years (in several previous MC versions).... BUT, my age is playing tricks on me again (  :o ) - I truly cannot find again what I did to solve it.

Issue:
I frequently use the Explorer view under "Drives and devices".
When viewing an album and sorting by track# on double albums (or triple for that matter), it SOMETIMES happens that the album art is in between the 2 volumes. See the example in the attached file.
MOST albums display this properly, first the tracks in the right order, and then the album art. Only SOME albums have this issue.

It does not help to delete the album art, and recreate it - same issue reoccurs.... So my guess is it's something inside the track# field (?)

As mentioned on one fine day, I succeeded in fixing this, but I can't remember where the secret option was....

Anybody any ideas, please?

Just for logging purposes - so that anybody that might run into the same issue can find the solution as well....

I solved this minor issue. It is caused by my own ("specific") way of handling multi-disc albums. I usually use the track numbering scheme: 101,102, .... for disc 1, then 201, 202, .... for disc 2 (etc.). But when you do this with the "Disc#" set to 1, 2, .... in the tag, you will get the behavior described in the first post. Deleting the disc# solves it.

I realize that this is not the proper way of tagging, but I started this track# scheme a long time ago, and for now I will continue that way.

Cheers, Steef

You could very easily change to using the Disc # and Track # fields as intended. With two simple commands I think.  Left() and right(), placed in the correct places.

BTW, you should know that when you sort by [Track #], MC automatically sorts by [Disc #][Track #], everywhere.

Thanks for the additional info. I may try to apply this simple trick, in order to use the Disc/Track # system the way it was intended.
