Basic error in numerical sorting of album names
I have just installed MinimServer on my Synology DS412+ and in general I am very impressed with its capabilities, however the sorting of album names including numbers from a MinimServer library scan has a fundamental error in the algorithm used.
MinimServer read my iTunes library and found no errors. For classical music I use the 'album' field for the title of the work. In iTunes my recordings of Bach cantatas are listed: …………. Bach - Cantata No.199 Bach - Cantata No.200 Bach - Cantata No.201 ………... etc etc In MinimServer the Bach cantatas are listed: …………. Bach - Cantata No.199 Bach - Cantata No.2 Bach - Cantata No.200 Bach - Cantata No.201 ………... etc etc Obviously the sorting in MinimServer is being done purely on character 'value'. This will be incorrect for numbers. If a number is encountered the next character should be read and a numerical value accumulated by multiplying the previous integer by 10 and adding this to the current integer value. This should be repeated until a non-numeric character is reached. Sorting should then be done using the accumulated number. Any likelihood that this error can be corrected? David System: ALAC iTunes library on Synology DS923+ (running MinimServer) > NetGear router > Optical isolation > dCS Network Bridge (controlled by Galaxy Tab S2 tablet running BubbleUPnP&Mosaic) > PS Audio DirectStream DAC > Primare A60 > Harbeth SHL5plus 40th Anniversary model |
