Originally created by @Toby222 on GitHub (Jan 4, 2025).

Type of Enhancement

Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Add ordinal sorting (1 -> 2 -> ... -> 9 -> 10) instead of/in addition to current alphabetical sort (1 -> 10 -> 11 -> ... -> 2)

Why would this be helpful?

Having series with numbered titles be ordered in proper order when sorting by Title

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

books being sorted ordinally

Audiobookshelf Server Version

v2.17.7

Current Implementation (Screenshot)

books being sorted alphabetically, causing book 12 to be before book 2
the sort selector showing "Title" as selected

Did you set a series and sequence?

Yep, and in the series view they are properly ordered

As far as I know we can't do this with sqlite. I looked into this originally because many users want alphanumeric series sequences.

In looking for my previous responses since this has been brought up a few times I found a duplicate issue

Ah, I hadn't considered that the ordering happens server-side

It didn't always. Users came along with massive book collections that couldn't all be loaded in memory to do the sort, so the sort is done when querying the db.
