Hi folks!
I can't seem to find documentation or discussion in the forum on:
Collection > Sort > Numerically
It doesn't seem to behave differently than Alphabetically, but I really don't know what it's designed to do. So I'd like to understand how this feature works.
But I'll also explain what I'm trying to do. One group I play with does Sinatra stuff, and Sinatra has a number for every song, and the leader calls out songs by number. So I renamed those songs with the number to the left of the song name so that I could sort the Setlist or Collection and quickly find songs by name. So "Fly Me To The Moon" is now "01-Fly Me To The Moon".
But for all non-Sinatra playing I do, having the leading number is just annoying and ruins natural sorting. Ie, I'd really like "01-Fly Me To The Moon" to sort as "F" in most contexts.
I thought I read somewhere that the Numerical sort feature would find the number, even if it wasn't on the left hand of the song name, and sort by it. But a simple test of trying something like "Fly Me To The Moon-01" put this at the bottom of the list of songs that still had the digits on the left hand side.
Feedback and info welcome! Thanks!
Dave
