Qmusic alphabetical sorting
Why does Qmusic sort everything alphabetically? It makes listening to albums in the correct order impossible. Furthermore if I search my library by Artist, it then displays ALL the songs in alphabetical order, which for some artists is hundreds of songs. Why can't it arrange the songs by album, or allow you to drill down into each album? You can kind of do this when searching by folder, but then if you go into the album then the songs once again will be sorted alphabetically. Very annoying

Re: Qmusic alphabetical sorting
How true. I've filed a report with QNAP bug tracking a while ago, regarding to Music Station, Qmusic, and implicitly on the Media Library, as these are all directly related. Key points are:
So let's give them some time to extend and address.
This should cover the issues hurting us here. The feature change request is assigned internally, the lack of disk numbering was confirmed before.Albums (pop, modern, classic, live, ...) are often consisting more than one disk - and the track numbers are per disk in general:
1. Disk numbers seem not to exist in Music Station at all.
2. There is no option to sort per disk.
3. There is no option to sort per disk + track.
This makes it impossible to play an album with mandatory continuation - like a full live recording - very bad!
Logically, this missing feature is reflected in Qmusic, too.

Steps To Reproduce
Use rendered CD albums containing multiple CD, correctly tagged with disk (1, 2, ..) and track number (1, 2, 3, ...) and try to play
disk 1 track 1
disk 1 track 2
disk 1 track 3
...
disk 2 track 1
disk 2 track 2
disk 2 track 3
...
So let's give them some time to extend and address.

Two years later and it's still not addressed

Re: Qmusic alphabetical sorting
Music Station (whatever is coming with QTS 4.1.x resp. QTS 4.2) does nicely sort based on CD number _and_ track number. To make it visible, I've added disk and track numbers to the list:
Qmusic does - as of 2.0.0.0528 on Android at least - still sort on on track numbers only, ignoring disk numbers. Yes, bugger, complained many times again since ...
And I'm talking of tags, not of some composed file names like 1_title.mp3 for example.
Can't see your point that Qmusic should still sort alphabetical only.

Re: Qmusic alphabetical sorting
By folder does show a list of folders resp. files - without any disk number, track number, or whatever album information. Why not using the normal by album, by interpret, ... views instead? The folder listing inherits no information on disk number, track number.

Re: Qmusic alphabetical sorting
Because if an artist has lots of albums and you want to listen to all of them in chronological order you have to remember their names and when they came out and find each one manually

Re: Qmusic alphabetical sorting
So what you are looking for is the ability to configure the sorting to selectable indices - based on what can be indexed by the Media Library (i.e. by Artist, by Album, by Genre(s), by Year, by Rating, by Favourites, by Recent Additions, by Most Played, ...) - for virtually any list, view or search result?Proggie wrote:Because if an artist has lots of albums and you want to listen to all of them in chronological order you have to remember their names and when they came out and find each one manually

Re: Qmusic alphabetical sorting
Would definitely be nice to have more sort options, but all I really need is to be able to drill down from an Artist to all the albums (would be nice to sort them in various ways including by year) and then could then go into each album and see all the songs in that album in album order. Right now if I go by Artist it will list ALL the songs for that artist in alphabetical order. This is useless, as nobody would ever want to listen to songs this way. Maybe if they wanted to listen to one particular song or build a playlist on the fly and want to search through all the songs alphabetically to pick out certain songs, but I've never ever done that.

Re: Qmusic alphabetical sorting
One year later, and nothing better.
On the Android App, you can sort Title, Album, Artist, Album Artist, Duration, Genre, Disc, Track, Year, File Type and Rating, ascending and descending. On iOS only Title. WHY?
Made a ticket, but I have no hope for improvement.
