Problem with sorting of video files

Post by wegwerf70 » Sun Sep 04, 2011 3:45 pm

Hello,

I just installed the latest Twonky Mediamanager/server on my Windows Home Server.
Attached to the WHS is a Panasonic GT30 TV via LAN.
After setup and scanning of my media files I started to browse the videos on my TV using the "folders" option.
There I noticed, that the video files inside a folder are not sorted alphabetically by name but instead by the timestamp of the file.

Is there an easy way to change the sort order to alphabetical`?

Thanks in advance!

Do you see the same thing with the web interface? I always see folders sorted by name, so I wonder if it's a feature of the TV.
No longer running Twonky

you are right.
when i use the webinterface or the media manager then the sorting order is ok.
strange, because before twonky i tried serviio and there the order in the tv media player was alphabetically.
