I don't want to have subfolders first

Hello,

On WDTV HD2, I used to sort by folder. So with my new WDTV Live Streaming, I would like to do the same.

But there is a problem. Within a folder (SciFi for example), subfolders are at the beginning.

I would like to have both subfolders and lonely files in alphabetical order, like on the WDTV HD 2.

Is it possible?

For example, in SciFi folder, I have 3 files (Avatar, Battleship, Oblivion) and 2 subfolders (Star Wars and Harry Potter, which contain all movies of them). I would like this order:

Avatar, Battleship, Harry Potter folder, Oblivion, Star Wars folder.

Thanks a lot if you have an idea or a solution !

Nope, not possible.  Folders always are first.

Ho… it’s a pity.

So how do you organize when you have some movies on 2 CDs?

Do you put them on a subfolder, and they are always at the beginning?

Or do you let them at the root of the folder, and they are double?

Not very useful. I remember, on WDTV HD 2, it’s the same, but all movies have to be on a folder, so it was easy to rename “real” folders to have them at the beginning.

I will try to suggest this improvement for a future firwmare.

Thanks !

Nope; I just do what you do…  Multi-title movies go in folders (Star Trek, James Bond, Transformers, etc…)

I just know to look at the beginning for folders.

Yep, I do that.

But I will suggest another order to WD support.

It’s would be more useful to have Star Wars between Source Code and Total Recall :smiley:
