I cited the example for clarity. Real autoplaylist I need to first mix all the tracks (tracks that one artist does not often followed in succession one after the other), then play at first not played tracks, and then played.
For me the desired result I have to do the sort order is not
1.Random (A-Z) or (Z-A)
2.Played # <1 (A-Z)
as it would seem, as
1.Played # <1 (A-Z)
1.Random (A-Z) or (Z-A)
This applies to more complex playlists ...

The images that you show, indicate that you were only doing a single sort by either Length, Bitrate, or Artist--you did _not_ do a compound sort. Had you done a compound sort (by pressing CTRL while clicking each of the headers) the screengrab with the Artists sort would have shown _3_ arrows in the column headers (1 in the length column, 1 in the bitrate column, and one in the Artist column) rather than 1.
Hope this helps.

But the compound sort A + B + C +...+ X + Y + Z = single step-by-step sort Z + Y + X +...+ C + B + A.
Compound sort is the same single sort, only in reverse order.
