Support custom track ordering in TrackSelectionView / TrackSelectionDialogBuilder

[yoobi]

[REQUIRED] Searched documentation and issues

I've looked around stackoverfow and multiple forums but they just use TrackSelectionDialog without sorting the format

[REQUIRED] Question

How can I sort the format inside TrackSelectionDialog ? I can't modify the videos as I'm just picking up the link from a WebService. Here is a screen of what I'm describing.

my TrackSelectionDialog displays the format in the following order: 480p, 720p, 1080p, 360p, 256p and I'd like to sort the format in the following order: 256p, 360p, 480p, 720p, 1080p.

This is my code:

trackSelectionDialogBuilder = TrackSelectionDialogBuilder(context, context.getString(R.string.qualitySelector), trackSelector, videoRenderer)
trackSelectionDialogBuilder.setTrackNameProvider {
    // Override function getTrackName
    context.getString(R.string.exo_track_resolution_pixel, it.height)
}
return trackSelectionDialogBuilder.build()

There's no way to do this currently. I'll mark it as an enhancement.

In the meantime, it should be relatively easy for you to fork TrackSelectionDialogBuilder and TrackSelectionView into your own codebase, at which point you'll be able to customize them to exactly suit your use case.

So you mean I should copy your TrackSelectionDialogBuilder and TrackSelectionView and change them to add this sortBy method ?

We will use this issue to track adding support directly to the library, but in the meantime, yes, that's the easiest thing for you to do. You could also send a pull request directly to the project, if you're sufficiently motivated to do so!
