I typically like browsing my audio library using views that have panes at the top, since custom fields + panes make it very easy for me to filter the library the way I want (more or less the reason I moved to Media Center; superior tagging/database features). Below the panes I typically have either (1) A Detail view of the files, Grouped by Album or (2) Album Thumbnails. In case (1), I have the the Album Groups sorted by Artist, then Year. This sort order is preserved whenever I select different items in the panes to filter the results. However in case (2), if I select different fields in the panes, the Thumbnails are sorted alphabetically by Album name. I fiddled with the view Sort By settings, but to no avail. If I don't have any pane items selected, then the Album Thumbnails are sorted by Artist then Year, as I want. It is only when I select items from certain pane items, then the sort order is messed up.
Any ideas on what is happening? I can post further details, etc if that is helpful.
Thanks.
