The following is an example of many Smartlists that I have created.

Code: [Select]

[Media Type]=[Audio] [Genre]=[Blues] ~limit=-1,2,[Artist] ~sort=[Last Played]
This gives me a list blues tracks starting with those last played the longest time ago.  However, those tracks with Last Played = never played are at the end of the list.
Can anyone suggest how I can get the never played tracks at the start of the list but keep the other tracks sorted by Last Played date oldest first?

As a bonus question can anyone explain what ~limit=-1,2,[Artist] is doing?  It is so long since I created the lists that I can't remember (I probably copied it from someone else's post).  A search of the Wiki and the forum didn't help.

Thanks

when you want empty to be always first, you can set that in options>tree&view>sorting, then disable sorting empty strings last.
is that what you want?

Thanks, I'll try that, but the last played field shows "never played" rather than being empty.

[EDIT]
That worked, thank you.

Now I'd just like some to explain what ~limit=-1,2,[Artist] is doing

I'm old and forgetful, and evidently not good at searching. That's my excuse.
