Library sorting issue
-
So, I bought some Outbreak Company volumes out of order, and now volume 10 is listed before vol.2 in my library...
It's not all that big of an issue, but it is really annoying to look at, especially since the other 10+ vol. series in there (Smartphone, Realist Hero) are sorted properly.I guess my questions are:
Will it just sort itself out after the actual ebook for vol.10 gets released next month?
If not, could something be done manually from JNC's end to fix this?

@doublemangekyo said in Library sorting issue:

It won't.
IIRC code was fine initially but then it had to be changed due to reasons and it was done in a somewhat hacky way.
It also affects Paladin, Kokoroco, Daimaou, as well as (in a not-so-fraraway future) Dendrogram, FMP, Infinite Stratos, LDM and maybe others. -
I did not buy Outbreak Company out of order and I also have V10 showing before V2
I assume this is something that has to be fixed on the backend.

The library sorts alphabetically, not numerically. "10" comes before "2", but after "02".

@someoldguy That doesn't seem to be the case with Smartphone though. Unless I'm missing something?

@doublemangekyo It depends. If it sorts by file name, they should be in the right order. Metadata... that would depend on what was entered in the back end.
Calibre can do its sort by "title" from the meta data; doing so, Daimaou sorts 1, 10, 11, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9. The title doesn't have the ".epub" ending, so it doesn't affect the sorting. Smartphone sorts 1, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
Sorting by file name in Explorer (where the .epub comes into play), I get 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 for Daimaou, and 1-15 for Smartphone.
It doesn't seem to be the metadata in what we download, but in their database that drives the download.

@doublemangekyo When I downloaded the Smartphone books to my phone, I had to go back and rename the files (adding the leading zero for volumes 1-9) to get them to display in the correct order. Same for Rokujouma.

@paul-nebeling ...Okay? My issue was with the Library on my JNC account here on the site.
I guess I should just wait for that eventual site upgrade I've heard about. Going to assume there will be better options when that rolls around.
-
@doublemangekyo I don't believe the file name changes when you download it. That would explain the odd sort sequence in the library as well.

Looks like OP needs to put "the other 10+ vol. series in there (Smartphone) is sorted properly" in bold.
Hate to get in the way of everyone's speculation fun (then again, people can ignore this post), but the reason is just some bad assumptions in website's javascript code.
