File sorting through DLNA streaming
I am using ReadyDLNA v1.0.25 on a ReadyNAS Duo streaming on a Panasonic GT30 TV.
The file list appears to be sorted by file creation date. Is there any way to change it to alphabetic order?
I had first searched for help with this post: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=76&t=68454.
There I was told the trouble does not come for the DLNA service?
I have asked Panasonic directly about how to change the sorting order of the files, their answer was as follows:
So... I still did not find a solution to my problem and I do not know how I should proceed now. Can you guys help me through this please?
Thanks for reading.

I have asked Panasonic directly about how to change the sorting order of the files, their answer was as follows:
The TV itself does not sort the files. The order is set by the DLNA device or DLNA software. However, since we can not make any statement on the configuration and operation of facilities as well as to third-party software and equipment, we can regrettably not help you set up your DLNA server software or your NAS. To check this, please contact your computer vendor, your system administrator or the manufacturer of your DLNA server software.
So... I still did not find a solution to my problem and I do not know how I should proceed now. Can you guys help me through this please?
Thanks for reading.

- chopin70VirtuosoI fell on this topic, and tested it on Ultra 2 with OS 6.2.4, it fixed my headache on a Panasonic Viera TV 2014 Plasma model
Here's a simple trick to avoid using vim or anything else
SSH as root
cd /etc
echo 'force_sort_criteria=+upnp:class,+upnp:originalTrackNumber,+dc:title' >> minidlna.conf.local
I used >> if by case there are other custom settings in an existing local file
minidlna.conf has a line to import settings from this local file
