MMW5 and MMA track sort order different

Post by xavierlh1 »

When I have tracks with odd names (e.g. starting with a ' or "1-") they don't sort the same in MMW5 and in MMA.

In MMW 5, and track with a name starting with a single quote is listed at the very top of the track list (sorted alphabetically). But in MMA, it is sorted as if the single quote was absent.

Conversely, if a track name starts with "1-" as in "1-Doctor Who Theme..." in MMA it is listed before "10-Hologram", but in MMW5 it is listed below "19-Madame de Pompadour". This makes it very difficult to check whether tracks are being correctly copied over.

Is there a setting I'm missing either in MMW5 or in MMA that accounts for the sort discrepancy? Or is this the result of difference between Windows and Android ?

There is no setting that controls this.

It sounds like this is a MMA issue, where numbers are sorted incorrectly and certain characters are omitted on sort.

Wherever the issue resides (MMW or MMA), one wishes that these two sides of MM work collaborate on a consistent approach.
