I have music with the artist Ådahl. In a MC view were a pane is "Album Artist" with the "Grouping" check box ticked this artist gets a group of "Others" instead of getting the proper group "Å".

Is that supposed to be like that really?

Anyone? It looks quite wrong, not too happy about it:

Try grouping with the expression:
 

Code: [Select]

If(IsEqual([Album Artist (auto)], /(Multiple Artists/)), /(Multiple Artists/),
Left(FixCase(Clean([Album Artist (auto)], 2), 3), 1))

Try grouping with the expression:
 

Code: [Select]

If(IsEqual([Album Artist (auto)], /(Multiple Artists/)), /(Multiple Artists/),
Left(FixCase(Clean([Album Artist (auto)], 2), 3), 1))

Works! Thx.


The original "album artist" grouping code seems broken...?


Interesting is that in a full list of album artists it's sorted correctly (...xyzåäö) but when grouping it comes before (<other>abc...) and is named "Other"

It seems like it might be intentional behavior to group all non-English characters under the "Other" heading.
I'm glad to hear that the expression works for you.

To be honest that doesn't feel - to me - like a very nice way to handle artists and songs from all over the world. And since the sorting works correctly why not group correctly too? Still, thanks for the solution  !!!
 
Now I just have to go through and edit tons of different views I've made for dlna, gizmo, theater view and normal view. Pheeew
