I would love to see my download playlist first sorted or grouped by Feed then by date time so that those feeds I have placed at the top always play before a feed lower in the list with a newer create date.
Feed 1
01-10-2010
12-12-2009
11-12-2009
Feed 2
01-10-2010
12-12-2009
11-12-2009
Feed 3
01-10-2010

*My purpose behind this request is to listen to all recordings on those feeds I find more appealing vs all feeds with latest content.
The default sort (feed/date) places the feed in the order that you have them on the home screen. You can re-order them by pressing on a feed and moving them up/down.
The sub-sort on date is actually the reverse of what you are asking for so that you would listen to the items in the order that they were published.
it seems that the 'group by feed' option in the playlist is always enabled.
if i change it from 'sorted by feed/date' to 'sorted by date' the order of the playlist does not change (gouped by podcast).
i would love to have my plalist by publishing date, independent from the feed.
Other users have reported problems with the date sort. Can you try flipping the sort from and to date sort, and then send the log. The sort is probably failing for some reason.
any chance this issue can be resolved in the next release? i see that you've been pushing this bug for the last three releases.
i really need the sorting to function properly.
the date sort never worked for me. i have just sent you the log file after trying the sorting option.
i added a few podcasts since i sent you the first log file a few weeks ago, but then again: it never worked for me.
how do i send the feed database?
I want my podcasts sorted by feed first, then by date.
The app keeps resetting the sort order to date only, which I do not want. Often, I set "feed/date", and two or three podcasts in, it switches back to date only and starts playing much lower interest podcasts.
How can I set it to feed first, then date, so it STAYS that way?

maybe i'm doing something wrong here ...

I had one other user that I was working with that was experiencing it, but they aren't any longer...that's why it has been moving forward in releases.
What I would need to start with is a log file from right after you switch to sorted by date. I hope to see an error in there.
If you are able to consistently reproduce it I might want to get a backup of your feed database, so I can hopefully reproduce it on an emulator.
Thanks for the help.

After you run a backup, your feeds database will be in the DoggCatcher/Export directory
EDIT: thanks pete, I just saw your post
You would have to do a backup (in the dc menu) and then send the file called "rss".
The file is in /sdcard/doggcatcher/export/databases
If you can do this, I would appreciate it.
Thanks.
I am getting the sort failed problem as well. The log file said the comparitor failed its contract (or something). I sent the logfile to you.
I've been working with a user who has a test build that seems to have fixed this.
If you're interested in trying it, let me know and I'll email it to you.
