Roku Media Player is not in alphabetical order when using the default
I use Media Monkey (MM) on my computer and Android Phones. I also have it setup as a DLNA Server and use Roku Media Player (RMP) on 3 different Roku Devices. Everything works exactly as expected with the exception of the Song Order with the Playlists on the RMP and Shuffle is not on either.
The sort Order on all three RMBs are set to Default, however I cannot make heads or tales out of the actual order. It does not match MM on my computer or phones. If I change the sort order to AtoZ or ZtoA options it is correct for those options, but when using Default it appears to be random with the exception of the first song which is always correct. After that I can not figure it out. It is not alphabetical, file location, file size, bit rate, Title, Artist, Album, Genre, Year or Track #. It also is not the file date, timestamp, VBR or CBR. All other metadata on the mp3s are empty. BTW, I only use Track # on my mp3s in MM if it is an entire album where it is important, ie: Abbey Road or a Prog album so some have it but most do not.
I do not understand why RMP does not use the Playlist Sequence used in Media Monkey, but I also can not figure out what the Default sort order is actually using. If I knew that, maybe I could use that to correct the sequence of my Playlists in RMB. However, it would be much better if the Playlists just played in the sequence defined on the DLNA Server.
Does anyone know what the Default Sort Order might be in the RMB for Playlists?
