Title: ÅÄÖ not supported properly (with "grouping" views)?
Post by: magnust on August 19, 2014, 02:52:24 am

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))

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  :P
