I find the published UPnP specifications quite impenetrable (and greatly admire Simon and his like for their ability to work with them), but in my understanding it is the server and not the control point that should be doing any list sorting. Also, any sort would (I think) require that the browse tree is cached in some way at the control point, which is, again in my understanding, not what the UPnP specification requires.

Is my understanding correct in these respects?

David

The control point is free to use the sort order returned by the server or to resort the list before presenting it to the user. There is no need for the control point to cache the browse tree, as it can apply its own sort order every time it receives a list from the server.

Sorry David i missed your post. N-stream does indeed cache what it receives from the server as i have to keep clearing the n-stream cache every time i make a change in minimserver.

And its precisely this

"This new and improved control app offers ... sorting UPnP™ lists alphabetically."

thats causing me the problem. Bit like Microsoft trying to be too clever for its own good, always thinking it knows what you want.
