JayTheToothlessNerd Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Good day, everyone. I hope this post finds you well. I went to Walmart last night and bout myself an external hard drive to rip my movies to. It's a 2TB Seagate Backup Plus Slim+. It is formatted to exFAT. I upladed my rips to the hard drive, and worked out great. But I have an issue. When the rips were placed on to it, they displayed in the proper numbered order. But on my PS4 something is "off". Here's how it looks on my HDD attached to my PC. Say I have 11 movies in the folder. PC example: 1. movie 2. 3. And so on. On PS4: 1. movie 10. 11. 2. 3. And so on. After movie 11. It goes back to normal order upto 9. I never had a problem with my 64GB flash drives that were formatted to exFAT. What could the problem be?

dualhunter Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 Do you ever have more than 19? If it goes 19 2 20 21... 3... then it looks like the PS4 isn't intelligently handle numbers in the names. It doesn't recognize 10 as ten but as one followed by zero. Unless the PS4 has an option to switch from order alphabetically to ordering alpha-numerically or something like that you'll have to change the file names. You could do: 0. 1. 2. 3. ... 8. 9. A. B. C. ... You might even be able to use lower and upper case letters if it orders them differently. You could also try adding zeros before the numbers: 001. 002. 003.... 010.... Whereas 11 would be ordered before 2, 002 would come before 011 so if there's no alpha-numeric option that might be your best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayTheToothlessNerd Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 Adding 0 to to the single digit worked. It just odd that my flash drive kept the natural order, but the HDD didn't. Strange. But thank you for your help, dualhunter. Dopeness has arrived! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayTheToothlessNerd Posted November 7, 2019 Author Share Posted November 7, 2019 Hello, Admin. I know I received a reply and "fixed" part of the problem, but would you be as so kind and transfer this thread to the proper channel. I just now realized that I posted this in the board games thread. 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
