Describe the bug
I have a library structure organised in folders - example:
ARTIST
=> BEASTIE BOYS
- file1.mp4
- file2.mp4
=> BEYONCE
- file1.mp4
=> BRIAN WILSON
- file1.mp4
- file2.mp4

After scanning the folders with multiple files are all displayed first in the correct sequence as expected and opening them correctly shows the files inside them.

However - all the folders with one file only are displayed after the last multi-file folder. In addition the title of the single file is lost - all that is displayed is the folder (artist) name.

See screenshot.
System (please complete the following information):

  • OS: ubuntu
  • Virtualization: docker
  • Clients: firefox, android
  • Jellyfin Version: 10.6.4
  • Storage: local

To Reproduce

  1. Go to '...'
  2. Click on '....'
  3. Scroll down to '....'
  4. See error

Expected behavior
I expect every folder to be displayed as a folder and inside, whatever files with the correct filename

Navigation of folders is deserving an upgrade indeed: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/issues/9221#issuecomment-1513268044
