I've been looking for an app to save the track position on android for
the longest time. This app is perfect for listening to my taped radio
shows. I'm sure you didn't design the app for this purpose but I have
a 4 hour mp3 that I split into 1 hour chunks. There named like
show_2010_09_08-001.mp3 and show_2010_09_08-002.mp3, etc.. When I go
on the road I like to load up a weeks worth of these shows which is
about 20 files. I am finding that the shows do not sort in
alphabetical order, it doesn't seem like its sorting by last modified
either. Any chance you can give the option of sorting by alphabetical
order? Keep up the great work. Thanks!

Car Cast tends to keep things in "Download order." It downloads each podcast in a single subscription (feed) in the order they appear in the file
(usually newest to oldest.)

Ordering is important for Audio books too. So, sounds like you would like them to be sorted into "Subscription / Podcast - alphabetically"

Perhaps we can add an "Order" setting to the Settings... or to the menu on the podcasts page... The menu on the player page is already pretty
crowded....
