but there's a problem.

In another thread, I mentioned I was using this method to get song numbers in order and song names in alphabetical order:

Quote:
For example if your filenames are like these:

Author A - Singer A - Song B.vob
Author B - Singer A - Song A.vob

then the Song Generated Catalog will be like this with the numbers:

0001 - Song B (Singer A)
0002 - Song A (Singer A)

notice that song numbers are in order but song names are not in alphabetical order.

To get around this, I renamed all the author names in my files into numbers. That is instead of a filename like this: Author A - Singer A - Song A.vob, I would rename it to this: 0001 - Singer A - Song A.vob. Increase the number in the beginning of the filename accordingly.


My problem is this. I have around 3,000 .vob and .mpg files in one folder. After I renamed all my files as the example above, I managed to get the song numbers in order plus the song names in alphabetical order. But the problem is, all the files with .mpg extension are grouped in alphabetical order of their own. That is, I managed to get 2,000 .vob files in alphabetical and with the song numbers in order, but the .mpg files would start over in alphabetical order yet continuing with the song numbers.

Example:

0001 Ai Bảo Em Là Giai Nhân (Gia Huy)
0002 Ai Buồn Hơn Ai (Hoàng Lan)
0002 Ai Cho Tôi Tình Yêu (Bruce Đoàn)
....
....

continues to

1998 Trăng Tàn Trên Hè Phố (Phương Diễm Hạnh)
1999 Trăng Úa Sao Mờ (Thanh Hà)
2000 Trăng Vỡ (Đan Trường)

then it would continue with:

2001 Anh Không Muốn Ra Đi (Nguyễn Phi Hùng)
2002 Anh Mang Giat Mo Em Ve Dau (Cẩm Ly)
2003 Anh Phai Lam Sao (Đan Trường)

At this point the song numbers are still in order but the song names are no longer in alphabetical order.

How would I get around this problem? Is there a way to override the file extension identification so that the songs are listed in alphabetical order no matter the file extensions?

Why do you need to have your song catalog printed out with song numbers AND song names sorted in order? People normally don't care about song numbers so just sorted by song names in your catalog. What you are trying to do is like in a class, you want to list your students by "Last Name, First Name" AND also want to have their student IDs sorted in order. Do you see any school do this? Another example would be for the DMV to list the registered cars in order by "Year, Make, Model" AND by VIN. VIN ordering is normally not done as it doesn't add any usefullness to the sorting.

Maybe after your explanation, we can understand your situation better and maybe change TKaraoke to support what you wanted.

By nature of the sort orders you will need two listing - one by song number and one by title for what you want to do!

I sort my by title for my catalog to hand out and song number by file name on the computer. This way, a requester would only has to give me the song number and I could find the song requested with ease from the hard drive.

BTW - Most of time, the requesters don't care about the song number unless they are familiar with your colections but most of them would know the titles they want to request.

Yes, I understand there is no need to sort the song numbers in order. Normally, I would just have the song names listed in alphabetical order without needing the song names to be listed in order as well. But I have an old song catalog which does have the song names and song numbers listed in order and in alphabetical order. I just want the song numbers to match those of which already in my old song catalog. Basically, I don't want to make a new song book yet. I have no time to make one yet. I think I just figured a way to get around it though.

Thanks for the wonderful program. It's awesome!
