Title: Ipod Video 5G only sorted alphabetically
Post by: reggaebox on July 08, 2017, 12:12:30 PM

Hello,

If I want to listen to all the albums of an artist, the tracks are not sorted in sequence by track number.
All tracks are sorted alphabetically.
With the original firmware, this problem is not, but my iPod only runs with Rockbox. (White screen)
Can I change the sorting?

Only way I know to do it is to create a custom database config file.  And that only works by an ugly kludge, by prefixing the track title with the album title so that the alphabetical sort then ends up sorting by album first.

Ends up with a listing like this -
