Full Version: Sort incoming files by filename

Hi all,
I just switched to v0.9.1 from v0.8.3, and I've managed to get it all working as it was (except for two plugins; a Winamp DSP bridge, and a Shoutcaster) - except for one trivial feature.
I have my music stored in my directory like this:
X:\music\Artist\Album\<abbrartist-abbralbum#>.flac
For instance, track 4 of Prime Directive might appear as: X:\music\Dave Holland\Prime Directive\holland-prime04.flac
For two-disc albums, I tag the files as having the same album (because they do), and I differentiate them by adding "d#t#" at the end of the filename - for example, "holland-extplayd2t02.flac" is track 2, from disc 2 of Dave Holland's "Extended Play Live At Birdland".
While using v0.8.3, two-disc albums would load just fine - the first disc's files would appear, in order, followed by the second disc's files, like this:
d1t1
d1t2
d1...
d2t1
d2t2
d2...
However, v0.9.1 seems to use track number exclusively, so my files are entered in this format:
d1t1
d2t1
d1t2
d2t2
Et cetera.
How do I configure foobar to sort them in the former style? Thanks in advance for your time.

edit: When loading the files from, say, Windows Explorer, foobar sorts the files 'properly'. This may be because I set "sort incoming files by:" to "%filename%". The problem occurs when loading files from the album list or album list panel.

At least for Album List Panel, look on the Advanced tab in its preferences for "Apply core sort settings to added items". That will apply your "sort incoming files by" string to files added by album list panel.

Thanks very much; that's done the trick! I appreciate the help.
