It is not a "fix" because the order of playlists returned from the server is not defined or documented. And, besides that, your patch is broken: it ignores the configured character set, and is not language aware. There may be two clients at the same time with different locales which may want a different collation. This is impossible to get right, simply because the server does not know the client's locale settings. You are trying to force that complex problem into the server, with all its difficulties and problems. This is really not the server's cup of tea. > The current implementation does not work correctly as it returns the > playlist entries in random order as returned from teh directory on > disk. Please obey your vocabulary. It does work correctly according to protocol documentation. What you want is a big kludge because the client you chose to use does not sort the list. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Benefiting from Server Virtualization: Beyond Initial Workload Consolidation -- Increasing the use of server virtualization is a top priority.Virtualization can reduce costs, simplify management, and improve application availability and disaster protection.
