Playlist not playing in correct order?

<< < (3/3)

Llorean:
Please be careful then. Playing "folders" and playing entries in the database are two entirely different things.

The file browser is based on filenames.  It sorts based on the filename.

The database browser is based on tags.  It sorts based on the track number tag.

p.s. I know there is some half-baked code where the database browser attempts to work out track numbers from other tags, but I'm ignoring this because it shouldn't do that... ;)

Doesn't it actually sort on what it's told to via tagnavi?

sans(a)souci:
I know that playing database is not the same as playing database entry but the database is more comfortable way to find desired album: if I had albums of the same artist stored in Sansa inboard memory and on SD they appear in one database entry of the artist. If searched by file directory they appear in separate tree entries: MicroSD music directory and inboard memory music directory. Why have I to remember where desired album is stored?? Database browsing let me forget the album location!

All the tags are correct in previously displayed Procol Harum directory (same in other directories with incorrect playing order)  :(

Chronon:
When you choose <All tracks> the database sorts based on track title.  I believe this is why they aren't playing by track number.

It sorts this way if you insert an artist from the database too.
