Folders not in order #53
Description
The biggest appeal for me of using swingmusic is the folder view. Most other clients do not support this. So far I'm liking everything except the fact that the Folders view is not in alphabetical order. Is there a way to put the folders in order?
For example, the top list of my music folders on my host:
But then the Folder view from the web client:
The folders from the first image that are missing in the second image (web client), are still in the Folder view, but further down the list. Its like the list is in alphabetical order, but in chunks. It goes A-Z, then A-Z again, and then again, instead of just having all folders A-Z in a single shot, if this makes sense.
It doesn't seem to matter which sort option I choose (Default, Title, Album, etc).
Am i missing something?
