suming 19 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Can you change the sorting of countries? Sort in alphabetical order. I have been using EMBY for several years, but I still struggle with the order of country selection. (可以更改一下国家的排序吗? 按英文首字母正序排序。 我使用EMBY好几年了,到现在还是会被国家选择顺序所困扰。) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimReaper 3326 Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 It is both obnoxious and time consuming - but the funny part is that it IS alphabetical, but by country codes. Once seen in English, it can appear messed up. Emby is the only software I know of that does it in this way, but it doesn't make it any less annoying. Finding Croatia ("hr", local name "Hrvatska") between Hiri Motu and Hungarian after decades of finding it between "C" countries always takes way more time than it should have - and it accumulates. Not to speak about alphabetical list that goes: F-G-I-G-M-G-H-C-H-I in this snippet alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suming 19 Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 6分钟前,死神说: 这既令人讨厌又耗时 - 但有趣的是它是按字母顺序排列的,但按国家/地区代码排列。一旦用英语看到,它可能会显得一团糟。Emby 是我所知道的唯一以这种方式执行此操作的软件,但它并没有让它变得不那么烦人。在希里莫图和匈牙利之间找到克罗地亚(“hr”,当地名称“Hrvatska”)几十年后,在“C”国家之间找到克罗地亚总是花费比应有的更多的时间 - 而且它会积累。更不用说按字母顺序排列的列表:F-G-I-G-M-G-H-C-H-I。 中国也是如此。中国的英语是中国(C)。每次都要找很久 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facy5 2 Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 @suming : Why these countries aren't in alphabetical order ? In fact, they are but they are sorted with their official English names. So that's why : Venezuela in B -> Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela Pakistan in I -> Islamic Republic of Pakistan China in P -> People's Republic of China Monaco in P -> Principality of Monaco (and maybe more, I took these exemples from your screenshots) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taking China as an example, because every time I search for China, it is very troublesome. The English word is "China" with the initial letter C. So why should he be in the middle of 'P'? Officially, he is' China ', and the official also starts with' C ' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one calls it that. And the order should be the same as displayed, if referring to "People's Republic of China". The display on it should be 'People's Republic of China', not 'China' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
