I would love to see my download playlist first sorted or grouped by Feed then by date time so that those feeds I have placed at the top always play before a feed lower in the list with a newer create date.

date sort - any chance ...

hi,

any chance this issue can be resolved in the next release? i see that you've been pushing this bug for the last three releases.
i really need the sorting to function properly.

thanks
frank

I haven't been able to reproduce it

I had one other user that I was working with that was experiencing it, but they aren't any longer...that's why it has been moving forward in releases.

What I would need to start with is a log file from right after you switch to sorted by date. I hope to see an error in there.

If you are able to consistently reproduce it I might want to get a backup of your feed database, so I can hopefully reproduce it on an emulator.

Thanks for the help.

never worked for me

hi,

the date sort never worked for me. i have just sent you the log file after trying the sorting option.
i added a few podcasts since i sent you the first log file a few weeks ago, but then again: it never worked for me.
how do i send the feed database?

thanks
frank

Backup

EDIT: thanks pete, I just saw your post

You would have to do a backup (in the dc menu) and then send the file called "rss".

The file is in /sdcard/doggcatcher/export/databases

If you can do this, I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

Feeds

After you run a backup, your feeds database will be in the DoggCatcher/Export directory

it seems that the 'group by

it seems that the 'group by feed' option in the playlist is always enabled.
if i change it from 'sorted by feed/date' to 'sorted by date' the order of the playlist does not change (gouped by podcast).

i would love to have my plalist by publishing date, independent from the feed.

maybe i'm doing something wrong here ...

Possibly not

Other users have reported problems with the date sort. Can you try flipping the sort from and to date sort, and then send the log. The sort is probably failing for some reason.

Playlist sort

The default sort (feed/date) places the feed in the order that you have them on the home screen. You can re-order them by pressing on a feed and moving them up/down.

The sub-sort on date is actually the reverse of what you are asking for so that you would listen to the items in the order that they were published.

Here is an example

Feed 1
01-10-2010
12-12-2009
11-12-2009
Feed 2
01-10-2010
12-12-2009
11-12-2009
Feed 3
01-10-2010
12-12-2009
11-12-2009
*My purpose behind this request is to listen to all recordings on those feeds I find more appealing vs all feeds with latest content.
