I seem to get something similar too. Folders starting with "__" for example, don't sort to the top, but rather appear lower down in the sort order. It's like certain characters or combinations are ignored by the web interface when its sorting folders and files.

I need to access folders containing a large number of files and folders. The display order of files/folders is strange, kind of alphabetical but with some files occurring randomly, making it very difficult to find a file. For some reason the first page starts with AL instead of AA.
The search is somewhat helpful but the fixed filename display length hampers the feature.
In the time line, the photo's aren't sorted logically, everything is just mixed. On the Android application, the timeline is sorted correctly, starting with the odldest EXIF date.
Does anyone else also experience this?

I "discovered" the button to index my external harddisk and it gives me a pretty good layout. It is (online) on the left side the lowest button. Probably everybody knows it already :-) Simply click on your attached harddisk, to bad it doesn't show the tree.
Nope, not with mine
I am looking at the Photo Library, with Photo timeline option turned on. The sort order is as following:
April 2006
April 2007
January 2004
December 2003
February 2004
April 2004
...
...
March 2001
November 1999
November 2001
November 2010
Somwhere in the middle, the oldest photos are listed. Also, the "sort" button is not enabled.
I agree, in Photo Libary the sort order is not alphabetic.
Btw: is there an option to disable the library functions? Or hide folders from the Library?
I would classify this sorting issue as a true bug: they state that it is a timeline, but not a linear one.
You always can set indexing off, but not for a specified folder (which should be easy to implement!)
oke, I disabled it, but it still show the earlier scanned files. How to erase the library? Is it somewhere hidden on the attached harddrive?
Nope, that didn't do it. I also cannot find anything (visible) on the harddrive that indicates where the thumbs are saved..
Hello,
The sorting thing is a known issue in the queue of things to look at.
If you truly do not want a single thumbnail image.
Then,
1.Connect the drive to the Pogoplug and in MediaSettings, disable Thumbnail generation.
2. Safely eject the drive from the Pogoplug
3. At the root of the drive is a hidden folder called ".cedata" and in that folder will be a folder called "tn"(which stands for thumbnails). Delete this folder.
4. Reconnect the drive to the Pogoplug.
Now there are no thumbnails at all on the drive, nor will the pogoplug create any because of the settings that were previously saved in step 1, to the file ".ceid" at the root of the drive.
Also, please note that tampering with .ceid or .cedata is not supported. Normally, most folks would be content with just disabling thumbnails and ignore the one already generated before they had a chance to disable the setting.
Thanks,

That's a great tip. But it means I have to connect the harddisk to my pc. Sh..t, I have to break down my nice construction in the closet :-)
Another question: I deleted my "recycle" folder from the harddisk connected to pogoplug, and it now seems that I cannot erase anything from the disk. Everytime I look on the disk the files that I've erased are back. I didn't replug/reboot it yet.
I just erased it through mypogoplug.com. The file seems gone now. I think recycle-folder will be restored after replug..
Edit: when erasing a file through mypogoplug.com the recyclefolder is restored.
I plugged in the harddisk to an xp laptop and erased all the folders that weren't mine. My guess is when I replug it to the pogoplug, it will treat it as an new disk and restore what's neccessary.
By the way: pogoplug makes a lot of library files! It took me half an hour to erase everything. I guessing it slows the harddisk also a bit. So no indexing for me in the future!
