SMPlayer Support Forum

How can I get the playlist to sort items alphabetically? I just dropped 200 files in there and for some reason it jumbled them all up and clicking on the tabs won't sort them. And what does "Add files in directories recursively" mean?

If anyone else was looking for an easy way to sort lists, this is what I've been doing:

Create/edit your lists in WinAmp and save as .pls

I have writen a function which sorts the playlist by clicking on the header tabs of the playlist.

1. Column: Sort by played, playing, not played
2. Column: Sort alphabetically by name
3. Column: Sort by duration, starting with the shortest

-> If you click and the list is already sorted, the sort will be inverted

Note 1: The sort algorithme is a bubble sort. The performance is not that good. 1.7s for 100 files and about 8s for 200 files. Maybe I will fix this.
Note 2: I have developed and tested it with Qt 4.6.2 under Windows 7. SMPlayer version: 0.6.8 (SVN r3213)

If you are interested have look at it. I commented all changes with //EDIT BY NEO --> <code> //<--

Thanks, I'll take it a look

The playlist will be rewritten in the future, so it doesn't matter if sorting is not very fast.

Added the patch to smplayer r3454.

Okay cool
