Been using the program for a while now, its great.

I´m having a problem with the sorting by media label field, to be more specific, i have compilations of movies and i use this field to store the label of the compilation, some are numbers, and others are plain strings, the thing is that this field doesnt recognize if its a number or a string and when i sort or group the movies by media label i get the numbers sorted as if they where strings.

For instance, my first compilations are shown like this:
1, 10, 100 , 101, 102, ... ,119,12,120, etc...

Maybe im asking too much but if the sorting could be made separately first for integers and then for the strings, it would be very usefull, at least for me, .

Oh, and tanks a lot for this great tool!

You can simply put a "0" in front of lower numbers :whistle:
But indeed I should sort numbers as numbers in that field, as it is often used for such contents.

Yeah, that solves my problem, the thing is that i would have to add the extra 0's in each movie, and that could be really anoying (800 titles...).

But then again, i think i could try to write a script to do that or to export everything to .xsl, change it and import it back.

Anyway, thanks for the tip.

A script is easy to make. e.g. to make 4-digit numbers:

Hi,

Ive been using this script since last year but recently i update AMC version and now this script no longer works.

Error says "comma expected line 8"

line 8 its: SetField(fieldMedia);
