Can I sort my files in any other way except alphabetical?
how can i prevent db from sorting everything into alphabetical order, i want to share lists in the order that i put them in NOT aphabetical
A simple way of doing that is to prefix the file names with track number, for example:
01 - The First Song.mp3
02 - The Second Song.mp3
03 - The Third Song.mp3
04 - The Fourth Song.mp3
etc...
Can you be more specific?
Is this on the web page or on the computer?
Sharing files shares a bunch of files. The sorting order should not make a difference one way or the other.
If you could further detail your problem it would help understand your issue.
Thanks for the quick reply
i want to share a list of songs in gig order not alphabetically but in the order they are to be played ..db always puts them in this order although i dont enter them in that way
A simple way of doing that is to prefix the file names with track number, for example:
01 - The First Song.mp3
02 - The Second Song.mp3
03 - The Third Song.mp3
04 - The Fourth Song.mp3
etc...
as simple as that ..would never had thought of it thanks very much
Guy was right. Go to Internet Explorer and rename your file as A1–the first song, A2–The second song, etc. Then reload them into dropbox. I am unsure as to whether you can rename right in dropbox, but i doubt it. I like starting with the letter A because if there are more than nine songs in a set, then you can go to B–10, B–11, etc.
