additional sorting order in video library

[ShiningDragon]

There's one thing in sorting movies/folders, which i don't like. I know, this is a typical windows behaviour, but perhaps you can do something against this.

Collecting / backing up videos is a nice hobby. And npvr is a great platform as "mediathek". Single movies are no problems. Trilogies or Quadrologies will put in subfolders (otherwise the normal directory would be grow too fast too big for comfortable steering in npvr).

I have a folder for movies. Most of them are "one part", also just in the root of a subfolder. But some of them are put in a subfolder (mostly boxsets of dvds, or as mentioned above: trilogies, quadrologies and so on). Let's start with an example:

[..]
[Alien Quadrilogy]
[Freddy Cruger Collection]
[Terminator Trilogy]
...
American Werewolf.mkv
sub is the best (now in high definition without drm!).mkv
Zickezacke-HoiHoiHoi.mkv


Ok, typical for windows: the folders at the beginning, the files after this. But this is really annoying if you have 100+ files in a folder. A better solution were the display like this:

[..]
[Alien Quadrilogy]
American Werewolf.mkv
[Freddy Cruger Collection]
sub is the best (now in high definition without drm!).mkv
[Terminator Trilogy]
Zickezacke-HoiHoiHoi.mkv
...

Is it possible to realize this sorting order without much effort or risking to break something in the npvr structure?

Thank you for reading this.

It was done intentionally that way. I preferred seeing the folders listed before separate files.

+1 to keep it as is.

Mhm... 2 vs 1; it doesn't looks good for me this time. *buck*

You can always put all your files in sub-directories.

nah, i have enough subfolders to browse with my remotecontrol... i am not interested to put them all into own sub directories. ^^

Videos+ will support this type of sorting. *If* I ever get back to working on it...
