If this is not a bug, it is very confusing as the toggle does not get disabled. Albums and songs will get ordered just the same as last time, even on full rescans, which makes me wonder what info is Poweramp currently using when using this sorting method, as it seems to be broken both when using scanner first seen times and file system last modified times.Īnd adding to this, using the reverse toggle when using date added sorting does absolutely nothing at all. What's more, disabling the option for using file system last date modified times (and using scanner first seen time) does not change ordering at all. It doesn't seem to follow alphabetical ordering. In album view specifically, sometimes I get correct sorting, sometimes reversed sorting, and sometimes completely out of order sorting. What I'm currently experiencing, is what would seemingly be alphabetical sorting in song list views, and what I would assume, be a broken/random sorting method when in album list views. As stated by Oscarwho210, Poweramp seems to currently order using an unknown sorting method when using last date modified sorting. This should prove that at least, in my case, my last date modified info is valid and not equal to null or such. I have confirmed this using the SE Explorer app that does indeed achieve the correct sorting of music files when using the last date modified sorting in their app. They currently are 100% in order in this regard (each song is marked as being last modified one hour apart each). To make sure of this, I have used a script to edit my last date modified info on all my music files. Now, coming into Poweramp V3, I am 300% sure this sorting method is currently broken, and this bug persists even on reinstalls and complete rescans (I have even completely purged all my music files three times from my SD card to try and fix this, to no avail). Since Poweramp does not support the full release time tag (which allows for full Year/Month/Day release date tagging), and that file-system sorting is not possible when using non folder-hierarchy views, the only way to achieve correct sorting is using date added sorting (when using music library views). In previous version of Poweramp, I achieved this using the date added sorting method. What this causes is wrong sorting for these albums (as what I would like to achieve is release date sorting, which is what makes the most sense for me). I would like to add what I'm experiencing with my phone to this topic.įirst, why the date added sorting method is important to me : I have several artists that have released albums on the same year, but these albums names are not in alphabetical order. if some weird values are in last modified time if all tracks from the bugged storaged get last modified time=0 Now, what happens if this option is On and you still have bugged ROM or for some reason given storage driver doesn't support last modified attribute: The change to On by default happened in build-804. Most recent devices do support file system sorting correctly, this is shy "Sort By Filesystem Date/Time" option is now On by default. This required Poweramp to use "first seen" time instead of last changed timestamp by default - so that's why "Sort By Filesystem Date/Time" option was Off by default in v1/v2 and beta builds. Many devices out there didn't support (don't report it to app/fail to recognize it completely/report bogus values - ROMs bugged on many levels) last changed attribute for files. I really don't know what to do, this has hapenned before but it fixed itself in a short period of time, now this problem is ocurring and i don't know what to do. When this happened i reinstalled the app from google play, from the forums, and even tried older builds, but none of that seemed to work. After i updated to the last build (818), Poweramp started to sort differently my songs and i noticed that it was because even though my list options were set to sort by date added, thay were sorting by track #.
