USB music sorting of songs

[hulk2k17]

I recently noticed there is an issue with sorting caused by 2019.12.1.1 where songs on my USB music drive are no longer alphabetically sorted properly. Every prior firmware version did not exhibit this behavior.

The folders on the drive are still sorted properly and songs where I've prefixed the track names with 01, 02, 03, etc. to force an order (like symphonies, operas, etc.) those are still sorted just fine. But for playlists with just alphabetic song titles, it's totally random.

Anybody else notice this?

Actually, Folders do not show up on my USB anymore ..also I have noticed the random order of the songs now ...I have never got the USB interface to work to my liking ..Seems that Tesla would have a dedicated software person spend some time on this as most other cars have it under control ..I have had Ford, Acura and Honda's that did work pretty well once I figured out the interface . My pet peeve is that you can't scroll without the system selecting a song .

You would think that the media / USB music should be easy to maintain/improve, but clearly that's not the case.

Unfortunately, 16.2 didn't fix the music file sorting problem.

I am also having the same problem with songs either being sorted alphabetically, which is of no use to me if I want to play an album through, or randomly. I have recently started to listen more to classical music, and having the various movements played out of order is not what you want. I was hoping that the UI would allow the top of the column to be used as a sort key. I am considering using the program MP3tag to see if I can embed a numeric prefix to the track title. I know that prepending a number to the filename does not work. It seems algorithm used the embedded title to sort.

So I have found that currently USB music is sorted alphabetically by filename and not song title.

I’ll try and confirm that. My impression was that it was sorting alphabetically by the MP3 field for song title.

It used to for me and I was generally ok with that. But now since it sorts by filename, things are a total mess.

It should be sorting by filename in Folder View and by metadata in Album or Artist view. Of course, I'm sure it isn't. :sigh:

 

[hulk2k17]

The problem is that it's historically sorted by title in folder view and not filename.

This still isn't fixed in 32.1 so I gave up and just changed the file names to match the song titles and things appear properly sorted again.
