In this the first number (01) indicates the first book, the middle number (01-05) indicate the way the audiobook is broken into major sections, and the final number indicates the part of that major section. It should always increase starting with the final number, not the middle one.

Press Manage Tracks and see how the filename is being parsed. The track number and disc number attempt to get parsed and that determines the order of the tracks

awesome! I just went to Manage Tracks, clicked the Filename header to sort by ascending, and saved the tracklist; that was so easy!

Incredible UI, great app, very excited about this amazing new self-hosted tool!

the manage tracks didn't really tell me much about how the track number and disc number were parsed from the file name, i think the file metadata must be screwy, but that's on me/the files.
