Sort and play order

Postby i.am.joel » 15 Aug 2014 16:08

Hi,

I have just installed the iPad player, thanks so much for making it available.

One thing I am struggling with is the sort/play order. I have put a number of videos (a tutorial) that should be played in sequential order into a folder. The files are all named 01-xxx to 35-xxx. In the folder the first item in the top left is 35-xxx and last is 01-xxx which is all in reverse sort order. This unfortunately is also the way they play.

Am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug? Is it a forgotten feature?

I am using iOS 7.1.2 and VLC for iOS 2.3.0.

All the best,
Joel

Regrettably, automatic sorting is not exposed in the GUI at this point.

However, there is a work-around. Rename your files in a way VLC detects them as a TV show. Details here: https://wiki.videolan.org/Documentation ... d_TV_shows

TV shows are sorted automatically :)
