Hello,

I have pointed out earlier that when using "[Media Type]=[Audio] ~sort=[Album Artist (auto)],[Album]" I get a crazy start of artists using numbers in their name:

2PAC coms first, then 3rd Force, 10CC comes later and 2002 (New Age music) comes later.
In my opinion 10 CC comes first, then 2002, 2PAC and then 3rd Force.
It's based on the first position, and then looking for the second one.

To make it completely crazy, with library server on another computer is does work this way!

So why is it on one computer different then another computer using the same sorting rules?

Thanks,


Theo

2 comes before 3 before 10.

MC uses smart number handling in its sorts.

Otherwise, 11 comes before 2.

Which, by the way, is exactly how Windows XP sorts lists as well.  The "old-way" of sorting numbers was abandoned by most software some time ago.

You're right with XP doing the same so therefore I must go with it anyway.
I can remember using 01, 02, 03 etc to have them set correctly in a listing.

Anyway it's because it's combined with numbers and letters.

I'm used when sorting looking at the position of each letter/number.
But I agree with numbers it would be strange to have 2002 before 3.

Thanks for explaining.

Regards,


Theo
