Customizing Media Manager - Track order and formatting

[DrByte]

(1) I uploaded the songs in the order they appear on the cd (track 1 first, track 2 second, etc.) but it arranged them in a very strange way. Not even in alphabetical order. I'm guessing file size or something ridiculous like that. So, I would like to arrange them in the order uploaded

Something like this might work to make them appear in the order in which they were uploaded:

/includes/modules/YOURTEMPLATE/media_manager.php
around line 27 you have:

    } else {
      $zv_clips_query = "select * from " . TABLE_MEDIA_CLIPS . "
                         where media_id = '" . (int)$zq_media_manager->fields['media_id'] . "'";

add the sort on date like this:

    } else {
      $zv_clips_query = "select * from " . TABLE_MEDIA_CLIPS . "
                         where media_id = '" . (int)$zq_media_manager->fields['media_id'] . "' ORDER BY date_added ";

or instead of date_added, you could choose clip_filename and then name all the files starting with the number of the order in which you want them to appear (basically, making it alphabetical on filename).
