Title: Sorting within a view scheme
Post by: hit_ny on November 21, 2003, 02:04:03 pm
i have a view scheme

Genre/Album Artist (auto)/ Album

i added the sort modifier for year, hoping to see albums sorted by release yr instead of by name, when i clicked in the Album artist  pane. But it still sorts albums by name.

What am i missing ? is it possible to have albums sorted by rls yr at all in this way ?

using MC 9.1.302

Make sure the modifier is written correctly.  Copy this into your view scheme rule just to be sure.

~sort=[Date (year)]

Just in case it could be of your interest...

I have a very similar view scheme like yours but
Genre/Album Artist (auto)/ Year-Album/Name

As you see, instead of having the Album I have the Year-Album field in the pane. This way, I can have the albums sorted by year in the panes and, at the same time, sorted alphabetically in the lower view. I find this to be very convenient when you have a large number of albums of an artist... both for browsing the albums and to know if you have a specific album of that artist (for this purpose it's better looking for it alphabetically than chronologically).

Thanx for the replies...

My solution was to use to replace Album with Year-Album in the view scheme. There was no need to put sort in with this setup.

Genre/Album Artist (auto)/ Year-Album

works perfectly :)
