Delete Branch "%!s()"
Deleting a branch is permanent. Although the deleted branch may continue to exist for a short time before it actually gets removed, it CANNOT be undone in most cases. Continue?

Describe the feature/enhancement
It would be nice if it was possible to reorder a books tracklist. For some very long books, there is no "single file" version available for download. One such example would be "Under the Dome" by Stephen King.
After downloading them, ripping them, and uploading them to ABS, I now have this mess (I assume because the disk number wasn't set as a tag):
It would be nice if I could just reorder this in the chapter overview instead of having to retag all those files.
@criscrafter commented on GitHub (Jan 19, 2024):
How is your folde Structure organized? Normally it should order them automatically.
This is how it should look like:
You should also be able to click on "manage Tracks"(in my screenshot) and should see this, where you can oder them:
This is the folder structure:
This is the root folder that Audiobookshelf sees:
@mpldr commented on GitHub (Jan 19, 2024):
I am not quite sure what you mean. All files are in the same
[Author]/[Book]directory. No subdirectories. Unfortunately, the sorting in ABS, does not match the order of a "traditional" sorting.@criscrafter commented on GitHub (Jan 19, 2024):
Can you send a screenshot of the main Page of the Audiobook?
I cannot find the page, where you took the screenshot.

Oh, okay.
Having the option to move them there easily would be nice.
You can move them however by going to Item and on the right of the "Audio Tracks" dropdown you can click "Manage Tracks".
There you can move them around.
@advplyr commented on GitHub (Jan 19, 2024):
I think you want to re-order the tracks and not re-order the chapters. If you only re-order the chapters then it will still be out of order when you listen to it.
To re-order the tracks use the manage tracks page like @criscrafter mentioned.
When you go to the manage tracks page you can also use the column headers to quickly sort them. Abs attempts to get the track and disk number from the filename and the audio file meta tags but isn't always successful like in your case so you have to manually manage tracks.
