Hello!

I've another (relatively minor) issue w/ my setup. Some (but not all!) of my static (.m3u) playlist files, when detected by JReceiver, show up in the wrong order! They are indicated as having a sort order of source_list.seq_no, but appear to be actually sorted in random order! (Again, this is not all files, only some) I have verified, of course, that the m3u files are actually correct! There doesn't seem to be rhyme or reason... length of playlist, etc doesn't seem to matter.

Any thoughts?

An addendum...

It appears that on -some- of the improperly sorted playlists, they're sorted in the wrong order perhaps because the songs have both 'part' and 'tracknumber' tags (Vorbis files). They're classical songs, and I've used 'tracknumber' as the track out of the CD, and 'part' as the part of a given work (eg a Beethoven sonata). So, some of the playlists seem to be sorted first by part, then by tracknumber. So, all the part 1's come first, then all the part 2's, etc... so the ultimate order is wrong.

What I don't understand, of course, is why it isn't simply sorted based on the order of the songs in the original m3u file... I thought that's what source_list.seq_no was for!

Hm... but it's not strictly like that either, after looking at another playlist. I'm going back to my first opinion... it's fairly random!

I've noticed this on longer playlists.
It's weird because if I issue an SQL query from the MySQL database, the list comes out correctly. But somewhere within JReceiver, it gets altered.
As JRec doesn't seem to have a keeper anymore, it's just something that we have to live with.

Maybe I shall have to download the source!

Go for it!
I always randomize my main list before I play it, so the sort order problem has never really bugged me, but it would be nice to have it fixed, just because!

I'm also not a Java-guy so it seemed like too much work for a lazy guy like me.
