Why does VLC for tvOS handles Cached Media file sorting randomly

Postby mancerrss » 10 Feb 2021 08:50

Hi there,

I love the Cached Media feature on VLC for tvOS. But it's my constant frustration that my file library is not sorted / listed properly, even by name, or even Date Modified (newest item shows at the top). It shows up almost randomly, I don't even know the logic or pattern for this sorting,

It's so frustrating.

Can we get an answer how VLC sorts things on it's iOS / iPadOS/ tvOS apps? Is this a bug or deliberate decision or current limitation? How does it sort files currently?

Suggested solution :
• A simple sort picker at the top of the app to sort files (Alphabetically & Date Added, both with Ascending and Descending toggles)
• Files will sort now based on the picked Sorting view
• Sorting view settings will preserve and will be saved, even if you quit the app.
