Title: Sorting issue in MC10
Post by: Bean on December 11, 2003, 06:27:03 am

I got a question.

When i am in Media Library and List Style is on Album Thumbnails view.
Is it the possible to sort the albums so that the albums with images shows first, and all the albums that are missing images comes last?

I use MC 10.0.13

Not easily, but if you wanted to hide albums with no images, you could add -[Image]=[] to the view scheme's search criteria.

Thanks!

Could anyone please tell me how to do this?

Is this something we can expect to see in version 10?

Create a new list..
right click on the new list
Edit view scheme
at the bottom, Files.. Copy and paste mats string.

That should work,

Create a custom field, "Missing Image" or something like that. Make the "type" of the field "Integer". Go to your playlists and view the default smartlist, "Auto Smartlists (music)\Task -- no images". This will show all tracks that don't have an image. Set the value of "Has Image" in all of those tracks to "1". Sort your view schemes based on "Missing Image" (reverse sort). All tracks with images will sort first.

The only downside of this is that you have to manually change the "Missing Image" field when you add images or import new files. But it will achieve the result you desire.
