Sort order is forced and cannot be change (for content from addon)
When launching addon inside Kore the sort method is unknown and it cannot be change making some addons not usable.
The addons are ordered by name. What other options do you expect? There is an issue that there is no indication of disabled addons, I'm working to fix it in #575.
but when you enter addon (one like mine) you have categories then tvshow inside them are episodes. Right now Kore sort episode by name and not by episode number and there is no option to change that. same goes for other categories like when list have folder mixed with files, Kore sort folders first and make ListItem unusable.
I thought you referred to the addons list itself, not the content. Well, the content is a list of items received from the addon, they don't have all this info like episode number. It is possible to add sort by name and choose ascending/descending order but rather than the original order set by the addon itself, but I don't think much more than that could be easily done for something generic.
There are addons that provide same functionality as Library, Kodi support changing sorting method. The orginal order set by addon would be nice because its current broken.
The best with minimal effort would be ep_number and fallback to server order. If that is too much to ask then server order would be best, because if worst case scenario addon could sort it by itself.
Alphabetic ordering should not be the default (when there's no support for orderng), unsorted should be the default. At least that way the addon can provide an order by itself (which is often done currently).
Whatever the order is, it's certainly not alphabetical.
See this example from the Australian ABC iView addon:
I haven't been able to figure out what on earth Kore is doing in that example, it makes no sense, it's in a kind of pseudo alphabetical order which then resets halfway down the page and jumps around a bit.
Alphabetical would be completely wrong anyway, for example when searching using the YouTube addon I want it in the order supplied by YouTube since it's based on relevance.
The order should mirror what appears in Kodi when using the exact same addon. It makes no sense for Kodi to show one order and Kore to show a different order.
Should be fixed by #648. I'll close this for now, if it isn't totally fixed, please reopen it.
As soon as the updated version will be available f-droid/play I will check if that fix the initial issue I had.. thanks for PR
