FLAC files in alphabetic order when streaming

Support

Hi

I have ripped a bunch of CD's to FLAC using EAC for use on a home network, these files show up in FOOBAR2000 on my laptop in the correct album order, but when steaming them to a QED uPlay Stream, using both Android and iOS apps, each album shows up with the songs in alphabetic order. Can anyone advise, in layman's terms, if I can remedy this problem using MP3tag.

I have a little basic Mp3tag knowledge having managed to change errors, and track numbers etc but nothing I do seems to make any difference with my uPlay. However I have read that this problem can be sorted.

I have tried to follow instructions from other forums (other people's threads) but don't fully understand what I am meant to do, and the things I have tried haven't worked.

many thanks in advance for any help

James

You have to find out, what uPlay uses as sorting criteria: the title or the filename.
Use the function Convert>Tag-Filename to adapt the filename, e.g.
%album%$num(%track%,2)%title%

Or if you have to fiddle about with the title, you can either use an action of the type "Format value" for TITLE with the same information or the function
Convert>Tag-Tag
also with that string example I gave.
