Originally created by @juriroemer on GitHub (Oct 23, 2021).

Right now the track manager (where you can rearrange the tracks of an audiobook) shows "Track Parsed from Filename" and "Track From Metadata", but you still have to sort the tracks by hand if you want to use one of these arrangements.

Automatically arranging the list by clicking on the preferred table header would save a lot of dragging and dropping (kind of related to #127, because this is where a lot of rearranging is required. Although auto sorting isn't always possible in that case).

Really love this project, hope it doesn't seem rude that I'm opening all these "issues"! :)

@advplyr commented on GitHub (Oct 24, 2021):

Agree that is a nice feature. I added this in v1.4.16, hopefully this is what you meant:
sorttracks

The "Current" column is what the scanner actually used for your track number. It should be equal to the "Track from Metadata" column since the scanner defaults to using the metadata track # (minus duplicates).

Not rude! Keep going! Open more!

This is great!!! Can you also sort by file name? That would be super helpful as well.

One other suggestion I would add is to make the column headings static when you scroll down the list so that they are always visible. I find I forget which column is which almost as soon as that line goes off the screen.

I added the sort by filename. I agree with the static column header, this will come in a future release.

Btw @jarrodCoombes since we were chatting in the unraid forum it will be easier to respond here. I pushed a bunch of fixes for what we talked about included in release v1.5.0. Author name fix (except in the details input field for now), CD number is parsed from the filename, publish year can be wrapped in parenthesis, and the Re-Scan button will update the track number metadata.

Will close this one out, if you have issues with any of the above we can start a new issue or discussion.
