Hi there,

I've searched this forum as extensively as the search function has allowed me to do, and haven't found any that address my issue. Google didn't help me much, either.



In the image above, the DVD titles sort 100, 21, 300, 4400, whereas they should technically sort 21, 100, 300, 4400. Is there any way setting the sort function to sort by numerical data and then alphabetical data? A temporary solution would be to sort them as 1, 11, 111, etc., but when I add a new DVD in I'll need to change all of the sort values.

Any idea guys?

Thanks in advance

As you do, my largest numerical title is "The 4400". Since the sort is allphanumerical "100" comes before "21" because "1" comes before "2".

Thus I extended the sort titles of my "number titles" by leading zeros.

I your case the sort titles would become

0021 Grams
0100 Girls
0300
4400: Season 1

You only have to extend that again if you should get a 5 digits title.

Thanks for the really fast reply! I didn't even think of that, and it works brilliantly!

Cheers!

Huh. Never thought of changing that, but it does look better with the lower numbers first...
