Sorting audiobook mp3s

I had a similar problem, an MP3 course with 167 files.

For my case, on the Clip+, I used EasyTag to remove the 2nd part of the track number, so instead of

01/167

the track number became

01

in the MP3 file’s header (ie, the ID3v2 tag).  I verified this using the ‘id3v2 -l’ command in Linux.

Once I got rid of the total number of tracks, the sorting worked. YAY!  I’ve been using the Clip and Clip+ for years and this audiobook sort problem always bothered me.  Thanks to the posters here for sorting this out!
