This may not be quite a bug, but it's been bugging me for ages now.

When adding a sort modifier to a smart playlist, I would like to sort by Rating, then random within each rating level. ie [Rating]-d,[Random] should show all the rating 5's at the top of the list, but random within, then the 4's etc.

What appears to be happening is that it's ignoring the random part, and just sorting my rating alone.

Another example would be if you wanted to have a random list of songs but grouped by artist. I would expect a sort of [Artist],[Random] to acheive this.

Any chance you could change the way it works so that we can have randomized sorts within groups like this?

Media Center always "stable sorts" a list.

However, you can easily get what you want by doing a random sort before the final sort like this:

[Rating]=4,5 ~Sort=[Random] ~Sort=[Rating]-d

Let us know if that does the trick.
