OK, that makes sense. I'll try to mod the dates and re-scan.
Thank you for your time.

Works fine with the touch program to modify audiobook chapters in reverse order.

Hi @DickManhard ,
The ordering in the feed is based on the dates the files were added to the folder. You should upload the files in the order you wish them to appear in the feed, newest last. (This corresponds to the original intended use-case, which is for publishing episodes one at a time).
If you have an entire series ready to go in one go, I appreciate that this might be a little trickier to set up. If you're not comfortable using tools such as touch
to fake the "modification" dates one by one, then other ways to do it include:
- copying the files to a new folder one by one, in the order you want them to appear
- deleting them and re-uploading them one by one, in the order you want them to appear
- editing the metadata / tags on the files one by one, in the order you want them to appear
If for some reason none of these are possible them I apologise that your use case isn't yet supported. Whilst I'd be interested to know why this isn't possible, I could add a new configuration setting to allow a different method of publishing.
However, please be aware that Dir2cast is quite reliant on file modification dates to determine if it needs to refresh the feed, and to determine if it needs to re-scan the contents of the files. (If you accidentally do any of the above on pre-existing files, it will bump them to to the top of the podcast).

@DickManhard if this solves your problem (or, if it does not), either way I would appreciate you leaving feedback here so we can close the issue. :) thanks!

I appreciate you confirming the outcome!

I realise this is closed but I found it fairly annoying to have to loop through a big library of content and manually update each folder
This is a simple recursive script that will loop through every sub-folder in a directory ( i.e. /audiobooks ) and will updated the modification times using touch
https://gist.github.com/stirtingale/2d66ec6a0557267a2238e59f455efd59
It will respect numeric ordering ( i.e. if it is 001.mp3, 099.mp3, 100.mp3 ).
Hopefully helpful to anyone who has found this thread by Googling how to sort by filename!
