Albums not sorting the right way

[BertdeJong]

I am on LMS 7.9, the latest build. Since using 7.9 my albums sort on artist name, this not what I want, I want it to sort on Album title. This always used toe be the case. If I check in the webinterface it sorts correctly but in all my players (radio, touch, android player) it aoerts on artist name.
I can not find a way to manipulate this.
Any ideas?

e.g. on your Radio > Settings > Advanced > Album Sort Method.

Will this fix the problem on every player?

Kind regards,

There is a setting on each player and there is a setting for the web-UI

I can not control my touch with the touchscreen anymore since the screen is broken and the app and controller both seem to lack this option. Now I have fixed it on the Radio all works well.

So, thank you very much

I have tagged my album titles to include an album sort number
(this is so I can spot Live albums etc. in the list)

I would have expected (as an example only)
...
09 Album09
10 Album10
10a Live Album10a
11 Album11
...
etc.
But when the order is displayed for this example, 10a precedes 10
Is there a way to change the order to follow this ie 10 then 10a then 11?
Sorry if this is obvious

I am guessing, but the sorting algorithm may use textual rather than
numerical sorting logic.

Perhaps 10.1, 10.2 (or 10.01 and 10.02) rather than 10a, 10b will give you
the results you want?

Regards.

Correct. And you shouldn't need to modify the name itself, but could
generate the NAMESORT value instead.
