Example:
I have a file ADVENTURE -> 2012
I have sorted the books like book 1, book 2, book 3, book 4, book 5 ....
In this order I take the file ADVENTURE at the SD Card.
On the reader I found the file ADVENTURE and than the file 2012 but the books were like, book 2, book 3, book 1, book 4, book 5

The same in the next file APOCALYPSIS:
book 3, book 1, book 2

In the file on the computer they were in order:
book 1, book 2, book 3

On the internal drive I can sort like "added as ..."

Kijac, I can't reproduce it. I've tried creating named files, in a random order, here is what I see:

Kijac · 11-22-2011, 02:40 PM

Okay, I will try to explain ...
Sorry, I'm german and my english isn't very good ....

I have a lot of books in many, many files. I have sorted the files like authors.
When I get book from friends, they have other name for the books like me, so I change the name and put the books in order how I want to read ....

In the sony library I can change the order in a collection. The book haven't all the name like book 1, book2 and so on.
Example: I have sorted the books from Barbara Wood in order like they came out:

Hounds and Jackals, 1978
The Magdalene Scrolls, 1978
Curse this House, 1978
Yesterday's Child, 1979
Night Trains, 1979
Childsong, 1981
The Watch Gods, 1981
Domina, 1983
Vital Signs, 1985
Soul Flame, 1987
Green City in the Sun, 1988

I can't sort like this. It's only like author, name, date not in the row like above. Do you understand what I mean?

Kijac · 11-22-2011, 02:53 PM

Okay, I found out the solution

.
I haven't to scan the SD Card

Games&apps fix requires a lot of work, basically major rewrite (also affecting look & feel) it was decided to release 2.0.x without fixing them, focus on long wanted feature first: dictionary and revise games/apps later.

In the 2.0.15 release, would it be possible to remove the games & apps that don't work properly? There's no need to take up memory with games and apps that don't work.

Kijac, in folders you can also change how they are sorted, but only via PRS+ settings.

It's a single package, hard to remove single files from it.
Besides, they are loaded on demand, so not taking up memory. The only thing that gets loaded are tiny loaders.

There are no settings like "added as" (wie hinzugefügt)

Mm, yes, sort by date is missing.

But don't they take the internal memory storage for apps/games that are not working?

Yes, but what could you do with that memory?

hI would have it available for content if I ever needed it. Plus, I would not ever have to worry about running a game or an app that doesn't properly work.

Kijac · 11-23-2011, 03:59 AM

Now I have all my books on the SD Card. When I want to read a book, the reader copy and open the book in the intern memory. Is the intern memory the 2GB, which are in the reader?

kartu · 11-23-2011, 04:23 AM

Kijac, you can also use card scan mode "disabled (load cache)". In this case you would be able to open books directly from the card.

It's not stored in internal memory. It's in a place which you can't easily access. To put a file there you need to do a reflash procedure.

I see. Games will be fixed, so this won't be a problem.

But is it right?
I deleted all books, which were on the reader and put all on the SD Card. So the 2 GB are free ....
When I use this

"disabled (load cache)".

it has to work a long time when I start the reader, right?
