i have a huge music collection now , but the problem i did while ripping them is, they have names that do no start with numbers , instead they start with music file names , that's a problem , since mpv plays files based on alphatic order .

i just want mkbl to make m3u list of album i am going to play , in track number order and feed to it mpv

this are the some other post of same question : https://www.reddit.com/r/mpv/comments/10sp0ge/questionhelp_force_to_play_track_based_upon_track/

Hi @omaru-ok, this is a non mkpl issue. mkpl asks the file system for a list of media files in one or more given directories and creates a playlist file. Currently the order is returned by the file system of the operating system (try doing an ls and see in which order the files return). Both mkpl and mpv do not look at mp3 tags for example, in which the track number is also written.

Execution ordering is about the order in which the file system returns things.

Unfortunately I can't do anything about this except implement two sort flags in mkpl as suggested by @aburchio in issue #4.
