![]() This is also the reason, why this problem sucks the most, because it is not an easy task to modify file creation date (as it would be easy, if this would be file last modification date problem).Īnd, yes - again Windows sucks like a hell (though I'm a fanatic Windows user) and again Linux rules. Make sure, that this is file creation date, not file last modification date, as many software will allow you to read / modify the last one (modification date) not the first one (file creation date). To confirm this, check file creation date of your files. Because this is (as I found out) how Windows is passing file lists to any software requesting them. If you have them messed up (for example, when using buggy FTP client for downloading files over FTP, that for some reason is downloading files in random order, not in alphabetical one), you'll also have some sort of random order in VLC (and any other player) file list. And looking into Internet seems to be confirming this.Īfter digging through Internet I found this thread and eleventh post explained everything. I have the same issue, as described, in Winamp and my portable hardware MP3 player, so it seems it is not a VLC problem at all. Is it the same under linux ? Is there an option (even in command line) that would enable to clear the playlist first when "Play with VLC" is used ? Is there one ? How to ask to the VLC Team a such thing ?Īnother point : in the windows explorer, the context popup menu have 2 entries :īut both seems to have the same result : the files in the folder are added (in a wrong order) to the playlist. ![]() I did not found anything in VLC options to require it to sort file after a load from a folder. ![]() Under windows, you can see that order by opening a console windows in that folder and make a DIR, i think a linux "ls" in the directory should give the same result. In fact, when launching VLC to play all mp3 that are in a directory by a right click (on the directory name in a windows explorer) and then "Play with VLC" in the context menu, VLC loads the mp3 list from the file order in the disk, in opposite to the windows explorer that always sorts the files before display. ![]() The topic is a bit old, but remains true. ![]()
