Hi Guys

I have spent hours trying to get this right without luck.  I want to create a Smart List with a size limit of 4.7gig, which I have been able to do.

I would like this list to include all my 4 & 5 Star ratings (100% of these) and then the balance of 3 star ratings.  If I choose everything from 3 stars it obviously doesn't take all my 4&5 star ratings, it takes some but as most of my ratings are 3 stars, the list has a high percentage of 3 stars.

I have tried everything, I assume that the way to solving this problem is using the mix option, but I haven't got it right.

Before, I go mad I would really appreciate some help.

Kind Regards

Dave

Maybe if you add to your smartlist a "Sort by" modifier, before the limit modifier, and use Rating in it, it could work.

To make it work you should sort descending: so that you first get all 5 stars, then all 4 stars and so on.
But I don't see an option for that in the Edit smartlist dialog box.

BTW, I need to use descending order in smartlist modifiers myself: can it be done?

yes it can. choose in modified results, sort by type the field, and put -d behind it.

[date imported]-d for instance puts the last imported first.

gappie,
it works, thanks a lot!

leeufontien,
your smartlist should go something like this (this example is for Audio):

[Media Type]=[Audio] [Rating]=>=3 ~sort=[Rating]-d ~s=4812
