Sort Files. This option controls how Rockbox sorts files. All of the options for Sort
Directories are available in this option. In addition, there is a By type option
which sorts files alphabetically by their type (such as .mp3) then alphabetically
within each type.
Interpret numbers when sorting. As whole numbers enables a sorting algorithm which
is similar to the default sorting of, for example, Windows Explorer, Mac OS X’s
Finder or Nautilus, with regards to numbers at the beginning or within filenames.
It combines consecutive digits to a number used for sorting, taking leading zeros
into account.
As digits disables this algorithm, and causes every digit to be compared sepa-
rately. The following table demonstrates the two sorting methods.
