I manually updated the track numbers for an album to put them in the correct order, so that I could then sort and renumber them all.

However, clicking on the column heading will not resort the tracks.  It leaves the tracks in the position they were.

See screenshot

I even went so far as to delete all the track numbers and click another column a few times to sort.  then i manually typed in the numbers as I wanted them and clicked the sort again and it put the tracks right back where they were in the order they were ripped from the CD.  comical...

Maybe try erasing the "Cache" folder under your library and restart.

Maybe try erasing the "Cache" folder under your library and restart.

The conversion cache folder is empty.  Is there another cache folder somewhere?

[Matt]

Find your library and look for a "Cache" child folder.  We cache list sorting and I'm wondering if a bad version got saved.

Here's my folder:
C:\Users\Ashlands\AppData\Roaming\J River\Media Center 29\Library\Cache

That didnt work. 

I deleted the files under File List Sort folder and restarted but the files just reappeared and the sort was still the problem sorting.  I tried by deleting the File List Sort folder altogether, but it came back along with the wrong sorting.

I made sure the column was "Removed from sorting" prior to shutting down and following the above process.

Something is putting back the sort cache.....

First try MC29.

Then if it still happens could you mail a library backup to matt at jriver with instructions about what view and I'll see if I can figure it out.  Thanks.

I do not have a license for MC29.  I've been taking every other version update because I dont seem to need the latest and greatest.

[Matt]

It's free to try.

[kewe65]

Okay, using the trial version, the problem is still there.  I will email you a library back up....  Thanks Jim

And for giggles, I tried some other albums already in the library, and had no issues with modifying the track numbers and sorting correctly based on the new order.  it seems to be just with this one album

[Matt]

Didn't get anything yet so I sent you an email.  Thanks.

[kewe65]

Saw your email, but I think I figured out the source of the problem but this does seem to be an issue.  The album consisted of 3 discs and the two tracks in question were recorded to the end of disc 2 but actually belong at the end of disc 3.   So the tracks would not sort purely by track number even when removing sorting from the disc or using the sort temporarily method.

So, when I changed the disc number for those tracks to 3, they sorted properly.

In short, I am unable to get the sorting to ignore disc numbers - i checked a few other multi-disc albums and found this to be the case there as well.

[Matt]

Disc number is always part of track number sorting.  That's just how it is.  Glad you figured it out.

[kewe65]

Good to know to remember to remove the disc if I want to sort the tracks differently...  thanks
