- MC interface: Some items are sorted non-alphabetically for non English users, regardless of your set language, as the interface follows English names... This distracting effect applies to the left hand panel in "Options" as well as to library fields under "Options > Manage library fields"...
It seems that translations are loaded only after the (English) application interface so the original items are simply replaced, but stay in the same sorting/ positions.

- On the other hand, although your main views in the left side panel ("Audio, Images, Video", which are 'locked') are ordered alphabetically, new items you add under "Root" are not... Example: I've added a new view under "Root" called "Total Index" (to manage ALL files regardless of media type), yet it won't sort alphabetically in the list but appended to bottom...

- DLNA: A file sorting issue with 'random' list views for DNLA. If the device has to display a list over several pages, flipping between them will produce a new list... Example: If you go from list page 1 to p.2 and back, the files displayed on p.1 before are gone and a new random list appears.
Perhaps the DLNA device simply treats each page as new list, even if the list served by MC is much longer... Still an issue you might look into.

Is there anything you can do about these? Thanks in advance!

This is to update my own post, along with a "kindly reply" reminder:

1st issue, although less urgent than the 2nd below (summarized):

- Some items sort non-alphabetically for non English languages (left hand panel in "Options", library fields under "Options > Manage library fields"...)
...
Main views in the left side panel ("Audio, Images, Video", which are 'locked') are ordered alphabetically, but new items added under "Root" are not...

OK, these might require fundamental changes to the language / MUI engine, so postponed...

BUT, more important 2nd issue (summarized):

'Random' sorted list views for DNLA devices: If you flip back to a previous page on the TV device, the list displayed there before is gone and replaced by a new random list.

And far worse -- sometimes when you select a file to play from a random view, a completely different one starts playing! (And sure enough, when stopped, you are once again presented with a new random list, displaying neither your selected nor the played file...)

If you like using random views, this behaviour is extremely annoying, and it cries for a fix very soon!
Any useful insight is much appreciated... thanks.
