If you have an album with 10+ songs it will sort the files like 1-10-11 instead of 1-2-3 (if named with numbers)

It sees the 10 and ignores the 0 and categorizes the file next to 1

of course I have the track numbers in the titles of the songs

Why was this closed?

Instead of what is currently used in ctrmus we can used code similar to that used in nnn.

I think this is useful, especially when you want music listed in sensible order. Also this seems easy to implement. So I'm reopening this.

Sorry for responding so late, I didn't know I closed this, probably did it not thinking. Thanks.

What would be better if things were organized by track listing in their metadata. When I added the tracklisting in the metadata, I was disappointed that it didn't organise them. Maybe I should open and issue so I can remember to add this myself some time.

Umm; how did you not realise you closed an issue? Nevermind I'll stop questioning it.

I should mention that the way ctrmus sorts is a bit weird.

I think it's because ctrmus lists files in the same order the C library provides, which is in some arbitrary order defined by the file system.

I will consider this issue when writing the new UI.
