When I load a Playlist (m3u, m3u8) on Media Player 32, it sorts the songs alphabetically according to Album, instead of sorting them according to the playlist order!

That would depend on the view.  Please post a screenshot.

Thank you for your immediate response. It only occurs when I right click on the Playlist and select "open with JRiver Media Player 32".
Double clickin' on the Playlist or dragin' it on JR Media Player works OK.

1st screenshot is a Playlist selected with "open with JRiver Media Player 32"
2nd screenshot is the same Playlist dragged and droped on JR Media Player

That may be the OS giving it in its own order.

Try right click > play.  You may need to enable shell integration in MC's options and reboot.

Hi again
I did what you proposed, (right click > play. - shell integration was already enabled - and reboot), but with no effect.  Now only drag 'n drop works! "Play in Media Center", "Open", "Open with JRiver Media Center" and double click, they all open my playlists, (m3u8, m3u, mpl), in Album Order!
It is not the OS giving it in its own order, because opening playlists with other players, (Foobar2000, VLC, Windows Media Player, even JRiver MEDIA CENTER 31), works fine. I also tried JRMP 32 on Windows 10 and on Windows 11, and 4 different PCs. Allways the same problem. So there must be a bug on JRMP 32.
Eventualy, I am going back to JRMP 31, hoping that JRMP 33 will have this problem solved.

thank you for your time

Options > General > Advanced > Sort Incoming Files For Playback

We added that recently so sorting is applied.  We thought it was a good decision.  Feedback welcome.

Oh Yeah! Sort Incoming Files For Playback. Un-ticking it, it solved my problem!
Thanks!
"Sort Incoming Files For Playback" is a welcome addition, but tmho it shouldn't be preselected on instalation. Btw, on what critirion the media files are sorted?
Thanks again - I am happy now 

[Matt]

Glad that solved it.

Here's what we use to sort:

Code: [Select]


CSortArray Sort(&GetMCDB());
Sort.AddField(MF_ALBUM);
Sort.AddField(MF_DISCNUMBER);
Sort.AddField(MF_TRACKNUMBER);
Sort.AddField(MF_NAME);
aryFiles.Sort(&Sort);
