Title: Odd Presentation of "Possible Genre Matches" when manually entering the genre
Post by: EnglishTiger on March 07, 2020, 08:44:58 am

I've been using data obtained from Discogs, via manual search, to correct the genres of my tracks and there is something unusual that happens if the genre I need to enter contains the word "Vocal". Currently I have 3 such genres vocal, vocal Jazz and vocal Pop that pop up in the list of "possible matches" when I'm entering the genre/genres of a track I've just looked up; now for the fun/amusing stuff, if a simply enter the letter v then the list shows the 3 possible genres in the above order, but if I then add the letter o, to give vo, the order of the genres in the possible matches list changes to vocal, vocal pop, vocal jazz. As somebody who has written a fair bit of software, and therefore aware that sorting data can be problematic, I can't work out why MC is switching from a proper alphabetic sort order to what I would classify as an illogical order.

Would you be willing to send a library backup to matt at jriver?  Include instructions about what files you're tagging.  Thanks.
