> [@NiceGuyJack](#): > > “A-Laget” by A-Laget (Swedish rap) > “Zwitter” by Rammstein (German heavy metal~goth?) > '97 Bonnie & Clyde" by Eminem (if numbers) I should add, this does not define my taste in music. I like rap and metal, but I also like just about any kind of music. I have over 10,000 tunes on my ipod. These just happen to be alphabetic/numeric first and last. ---

First (letters): Abalone Blues, by Mary’s Danish First (numbers): 100%, by Sonic Youth Last (letters): Zusammen, by Nena Last (numbers): 99 Luftballons, by Nena Curiously, my iPod sorts “99.9F” by Suzanne Vega before “99 Luftballons”, so the ‘.’ character is earlier than the space ’ ’ in iPods alphanum sorting. ---

Yeah, the numeric/punctuational sort is a little unconventional… I have in order: 3 Dimes Down 6’1" 9-9 16 Days 1979 The sort keeps tracks in order if people label them with numbers, thus “1 Song” gets sorted in front of “10 Song”, which is sorted in front of “100 Song”, etc. ---
