I've set key to be displayed as alphanumeric both in rekordbox and on the device itself, but when I go to the list of tracks on the device and set the sorting to KEY, it sorts them incorrectly, it goes 1A,1B,10A,10B,11A,11B,12A,12B and only then it goes 2A,2B, which is not correct. Rekordbox sorts the same list of tracks correctly 1A,1B,2A,2B etc. See attached screenshot
CDJ firmware is 1.85.
Is this a known issue? Any ETA for the fix ?

The CDJ's are sorting according to the alphabetic rules, 12A comes before 2A. To fix this, rename your keys so all of them has two digits, for example 01A instead of 1A, and they will sort properly.
That's not practical, I'm not going to manually modify the key on thousands of tracks. Rekordbox automatically analyzes and writes the key info, and it can sort them just fine. I expect this issue to be fixed with CDJ firmware update.
Hey, there's a really simple way to do that Anton. Just select the collection button in export mode left. Make the tab Keys visible en push is to sort them in alphanumeric.
After that select the first song with 1A from the list en select the last song from 1A en press Shift. All the 1A songs are now selected and selected en in blue color. Now press the info button on the right. Here replace the 1A key TAG with 01A (typ it) and press enter. All the 1A songs will be replaced with 01A. Repeat this process with 1B, 2A,2B etc tot recplace them all. in total you must do this just 18 TIMES (key number total that needs 0 before key). And the complete collection is changed the way you want it ;) Greetz
For some reason when i overtype the key field as described above, it doesn't actually save the 05A ETC, it just reverts to 5A again!
Any ideas why?
Cheers
I changed all of my keys to be padded with `0` some years ago to fix this back in the day. But... It seems for the last year or so Rekordbox has broken that method when they introduced their own support of 'alphanumeric' keys, which displays them without the leading prefix.
Has anyone managed to get them sorting correct?
