The sorting is done via natcasesort PHP function: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.natcasesort.php I had previously made the player fixed to the top of the page via CSS and that is included in the new 2.0.6 release, but allowing it to keep playing while navigating other directories would be a pretty big redesign that I can't take on right now. Thinking briefly about it, the player and its scripts and styles would need to be separated into a different PHP file and loaded in an iframe. All of...

I have had some other minor changes in progress in my local copy for years and took this as an opportunity to wrap them up in a new release. I have incorporated a case insensitive image file search.

Interesting. I will check it out. Thanks!
