Sort by album problem
« on: October 30, 2021, 04:22:26 am »

Hi,

Choose sort by abums option in tab, sort by name has the same problems as default sorting. Some albums with the same name, but different options are sorting  as one thumbnail/list and sone of the as different, screenshots attached,
1. Blue Note Plays Bossa Nova - 3 - one list
2. Blue Note Trip - Somethin' Blue - many separated images, I double checked

I just want to sort by Album name/ What's wrong?

If those Blue Note albums are compilations with several different artists, check your [Album Artist (auto)] tag.  For each track on a compilation album it should be [Album Artist (auto)] = (Multiple Artists).  If it is, then MC should display the album once in the Albums view.  If that tag is blank or shows the Artist for each track, you'll get multiple displays of the Album in your Albums view.

Not too clear, the first screenshot show as on album the compilation with different artists, but two next has the same situation for me: the same album name, but the different artists but places in the different cells, not in one

MC can get confused when it encounters multiple incidences of Same Album Name + Same Album Artist. One way of getting it to treat each such incidence as an Individual Album is to add something unique to each Album Name. Or alternatively add an Additional Field, you could even call it "Album Sort Sequence", and adjust the sort by Album Name Parameters to use both the Album Name and Additional Field.

Suddenly I found the way: set the same album artist, but different artists. Working well
