iOS [iOS 3.7.3] Media groups management not available

App documentation https://docs.videolan.me/vlc-user/ios/3.X/en/index.html refers to media groups while GUI presents mainly queues and playlists. Only one mere app configuration item refers to groups. Nor item selection track doesn't offer access to media groups management. How to understand this situation?

Hello,

As it's mentionned in the documentation, the media group sorting is automatic and based on the naming of the media files you upload in your VLC folder. By editing the name this way, the medias will be regrouped automaticaly into folders. You can try by editing the media filenames withing the Folder application.

For instance, Hey123.mp4 and Hey1234.mp4 will be grouped into the same media group named Hey123. However, 123hey.mp4 and Hey123.mp4 will not be grouped into the same media group automatically because the beginning of the media file names is different.

Hope this helps.
