Sort order of files on USB device wiht FAT32 Filesystem

[MyStar]

Hi,

just discovered a very minor buggy, but, nevertheless....

In my car I can play music from a USB device. Limitations are FAT32 Filesystem, and therefore also a limited number of files.
So I had a FAT32 formatted USB stick, capacity 64 GB, and filled it completely with MP3 files.

Car plays tracks from 1 until the limitation of 32 MB, and then starts again from the first track.

And here this strange thing showed up. Car playlist begins with a track -- 'Till Ther Was You- Rod Steward' . And that is the FileName.

But In TC the filename shows up (sort order File) in the alphabetical range in the files starting with -T- , not at ASCII value, on top of the list, as I expected.

(') ASCII dec 39 / hex 27 ---- Single quote

(A) ASCII dec 65 / hex 41 --- Capital A

(a) ASCII dec 97 / hex 61 --- lower case a

(0) ASCII dec 49 / hex 31 -- number Zero

So, no big deal, but funny and also strange.


In this strange times we are living in, let us hope that the dark clouds that are moving fastly towards us will pass by, without thunder and lighting.

GBYA


Thanks

Not confirmed.
With any sort order set on "Display" page i always get:

Code: Select all

'
0
A
a

MP3 player devices often play the tracks in the order they were written to a directory, not in alphabetical order. You can see that order in Total Commander by choosing Show - Unsorted. Please note that the NTFS file system doesn't use linear lists for file names, it uses a sorted tree, so directories are always sorted alphabetically even when choosing "unsorted".
