Steps to reproduce

I have an audiobook in parts and chapters, which is typical of Graphic Audio books, when on the ABS website these seem to be named in the correct order:

MISTBORN0101P01.mp3
MISTBORN0101P02.mp3
MISTBORN0101P03.mp3
MISTBORN0101P04.mp3
MISTBORN0101P05.mp3
MISTBORN0101P06.mp3
MISTBORN0102P01.mp3
MISTBORN0102P02.mp3
MISTBORN0102P03.mp3
MISTBORN0102P04.mp3
MISTBORN0102P05.mp3
MISTBORN0102P06.mp3
MISTBORN0103P01.mp3
MISTBORN0103P02.mp3
MISTBORN0103P03.mp3
MISTBORN0103P04.mp3
MISTBORN0103P05.mp3
MISTBORN0103P06.mp3
MISTBORN0103P07.mp3

This basically means: Mistborn book 01, part 01-03, chapter 01-07.

Displaying this in Windows and in the website view, this looks great:

If I then view this in the app however the order may be based on the final numbers?

This means the playback is skipping between various different parts, leads to very confused listening!

Expected behaviour

Playback should follow the same order the website provides.

Actual behaviour

Follows a different order, perhaps based on the final number in the files?

Environment data

Audiobookshelf Version:

  • Android App?
  • iOS App?

Did you update the tracks AFTER downloading the book on your device?
There is an issue open #525 to update chapters for downloaded books if they are updated on the server.

Can you test this again?
