I have one album that when double-clicked, MC will start playback at track 8.

I've updated library from tags, and vice-versa, with no change in behavior.  Shuffle is off.

All albums above and below start at track 1 correctly when double-clicked.  The problem only occurs when using pane view (thumbnail view's Play works fine).

Can someone shed some light on this?

Show the Disc # column.  Is there any difference?

Also, try erasing the "Cache" folder under your library folder followed by a program restart.

Thanks for the fast reply Matt.

Disc # is empty.

I quit MC, erased:

C:\Users\MrC\AppData\Roaming\J River\Media Center 14\Library\Cache

and started MC.

No change.  Track 8 is still started first.

I'm a bit stumped.

You might remove the list grouping so there's one less layer of filtering and sorting.

In that case, I'd expect the display order and play order to always match (assuming shuffle is off).

So the problem has something to do with the Sort By->(Default).  This creates the apparent sort order:

Album Artist (auto)
Album
Disk #
Track #

If I disable Sort By->(Default), by assigning a Sort order in exactly the same fashion, all is good.

Now, if I remove Disc # and Track # from the sort order, leaving Album Artist (auto) and Album, then, track 8 immediately sorts to the top of the list, followed by 9 through 12, and then 1 through 7.

So, let's see if (Default) sort order is picking up from the parent Audio view.  I force the Audio tree sort order to be that listed above.  Then go back the view I was using and set Sort By->(Default), and now all works.

It appears that setting (Default) as the sort order for Audio does not propagate the sort order settings as listed above (you and I had a discussion some time ago about default sort order and its discovery) into children.  But again, if I change the Audio sort order to something specific, those settings propagate.

Most unfortunate is that the order listed, as specified by the sort column indicators is not honored when a Play is attempted.

Any thoughts?
