I use one of the custom fields for numbers, but when I go to sort my songs by that field, it sorts it wrong.
For instance, if I have 90, 10, and 1000, it will sort them 10, 1000, 90, instead of in numerical order.
Is there any way I can fix this?

Re: Sorting Numbers in Custom Fields
No. Custom fields are sorted alphabetically. The only way around it would be to use leading zeros.

Okay, thank you. It's gonna be ugly but I might as well.
Sort order of custom fields
Hi!
I'm having problems with sort order of custom fields, I use one of them for version number of tracks in the format of 3-1, 3-2, .... 3-10, 3-11,3-12.
This means that the tracks are sorted incorrectly, i.e. 2-10, 2-11, 2-12, 2-1, 2-2, 2-3....etc.
I found this old topic regarding this issue; https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewt ... =1&t=65131
and it's seems that custom fields are sorted alphanumerically.
- Anything done regarding this since 2012, I'm currently using version 4.1.21.1875?
- Anything I can do to fix this, other than of course using format 2-01, 2-02 etc?

Re: Sort order of custom fields
Hi!
Correction...
The sort order is actually: 2, 2-1, 2-10, 2-11, 2-12, 2-2, 2-3, 2-4, ...etc.

Re: Sort order of custom fields
That's correct - 2-11 can never be a numbercustom fields are sorted alphanumerically.
For albums use the fields Disc # and Track #
