There is currently a discussion on the
possibility of using the ID3v2 Tag Sort Order to
define the order tracks are sorted - if it is
approved I think it would serve as a _simpler_
solution to the same end. Of course the
down-side is that it becomes the users'
responsibility to go back and re-tag all his
files, rather than things being done automatically by Rockbox.

Hi,
Are there any plans to implement proper
directory sorting in rockbox? for some reason, I
expect "Sébastien Schuller" to be placed before
"Syd Barrett", not after as it is now.
Of course, full unicode sorting (i.e.
implementing full strcoll()) is almost
impossible, but in the 0000-00FF range, a simple
lookup table will do the job easily. This means
that instead of returning *s1-*s2 (in
./firmware/common/strcmp.c), we just have to
return latin1_to_order[*s1]-latin1_to_order[*s2].
strncmp would also have to be reworked to use
that lookup table only for latin1 characters
(i.e. at odd places, iff the character before was \000).
