Non-alphabetical arrangement
ssuukk:
May I actualy refresh the thread? File view is much more useful than databese. So is there any reason why isn't it possible to add "By track number" to existing options ("Alphabetical", "By Date", "By Newest Date", "By Type") in "Settings -> General Settings -> File View -> Sort Files"?
And don't ask me where to get it from. The track number is stored in ID3 tag...
AlexP:
No, it is a file browser. Sorting can be achieved based on file attributes that are stored by the filesystem. If you have to open every file every time you enter a directory to read things like track number it becomes incredibly slow. If you keep the information you find so you don't have to rescan next time, then you have the database.

Even if it does isn't it user's problem? If user wants to have slow directory listing it's his choice...

I understand your point. Probably I am too used to Directory Opus which is able to sort by any available tag stored within file (be it ID3, EXIF or whatever).

To an extent - someone has to take the time to code it, it adds extra code, it adds another option - it is whether it is worth it, especially when the database already exists for just this sort of thing. If what you want isn't possible with a custom tagnavi, I think it'd be better to fix/extend the database rather than hack up the filebrowser.
Incidently, I use the filebrowser and have it sort by track number - my files are named tracknum - title.mp3

Well, yeah - I know. That was quick and dirty hack I used on original software. :-)
