Change sort order for folder
I would like to set the default sort order on a folder so that if anyone entered it, it would be sorted in this order. Is this possible?

Inappropriate?I found it. You can reorder an album, though there is no way I can find to just tell it to always order a in a particular way.
I’m indifferent

Inappropriate?Hi there,
You can change the order of your folders or of your videos within a folder.
Click on My Motionbox -> My Videos to see your folders page. Here you can go to "manage folder" which is near the top left just above "Videos are now organized in folders.."
When you open your folder and see videos listed, you can reorder them again inside - just above your folder's title near the top left you'll see "manage folder" too.
Hope this helps!
Kind regards,

Inappropriate?This really isn't an acceptable sort method. Have you tried to manually sort a folder with 50+ videos in it? It's a royal pain in the behind! This functionality should be expanded to permit quick sorting as well as manual sorting. Add a few buttons in there or a drop-down to allow you to sort by the same options that you can sort by in the 'sort by' menu at the bottom of the page.
I’m tired of sorting manually.

Inappropriate?Hi Chris,
Sorry for the inconvenience - we do hope that sorting options will be better in the future. Thanks again for all of your feedback!

Inappropriate?One suggestion that seems to be easy and gives an interim solution: If the sorting window could be resizable (many of us have large screens with good resolution these days) then more videos could fit and sorting would be somewhat easier.
-
Inappropriate?Actually, just to be able to REVERSE the order so the newest uploads are FIRST (not last) would be REALLY helpful. It's annoying to have to scroll through screen after screen after screen after screen to find the video I JUST uploaded.

Inappropriate?Thanks for your feedback Gabor and Fred - both are valid points which I'm passing along to our team.
Best,

Inappropriate?I just found motionbox and initially was very excited but I'm uploading about 150 short (football) clips at a time and it seems to be impossible to easily sort them with something as simple as alphabetical. I definitely need to be able to easily get them alphabetically into the mixer and preferably in the folder as well. I also find the reorder ajaxy thing clunky as it is a fixed size and doesn't even show the complete name of my files. Alpha at best.
I’m frustrated

Inappropriate?Hey Steve,
Thanks for your feedback - I just responded to you via e-mail as well.
Thanks again for your patience,

Inappropriate?Well thanks for the reply in any case. Frankly the concept of MotionBox is fantastic but the implementation leaves a lot to be desired. I tried every trick I could think of to aid in sorting. Turns out your alphabetic sort order does not sort by the same rules that PC folders do. I.E a file name such as "1_Filename" comes after "10_Filename" on MotionBox and before (as I think it should on my PC) So then I put together a routine to rename my clips on my pc before uploading. ie. "1_FileName" becomes "001_Filename". However when they get uploaded they get all randomized in the folder and of course when 'sort by' a-z it only sorts that page so I figured I'd break them up into 48 file folders. However it was all for naught as it turns out even when you sort them then 'add to' mixer they don't go to the mixer sorted but back to the original order they uploaded to the folder. This at most is a couple SQL statement change to the database. Please put in a capability in the Mixer to sort!! Please let me know when this is fixed. Its back to youTube in the meantime.

Inappropriate?Hello,
The first entry into this thread was about 8 month ago. It seems to be reasonable to at least have an ETA. Would it be possible please?
Thanks,

Inappropriate?Hi Gabor and Steve,
We can't guarantee this feature will be implemented in the near tearm but do know that our team is very aware of this. Mona has escalated this even further so we're hoping that it receives prompt attention soon.
We appreciate your patience, persistence and continued follow-up.
All the best,

Good news! You now have some improved options for video sorting and folder sorting on Motionbox. Check out our blog post about it here: http://www.motionbox.com/content/theb....
