1164: Playlist Selection Sort Issue

[Anubis]

Hi, I have a playlist that has 6 playlists as it selection. Like this...

MY-MIX
--> Playlist is MIX01
--> Playlist is MIX02
--> Playlist is MIX03
--> Playlist is MIX04
--> Playlist is MIX05
--> Playlist is MIX06

Now each of these MIXnn playlists do their own selection and sorting, and then I just want the MY-MIX playlist to list them out in the order that I have listed them, and with the songs sorted as per each individual playlist.

The problem is, the MY-MIX playlist seems to be sorting them by DATE-ADDED field, even though there is NO sorting in the MY-MIX playlist.

Anybody else have this problem? Is there are work around?

(btw, just upgraded from MM2.5 to MM3 on the weekend, love it so far, hope this is an easy "fix").

Thanks

To my knowledge.
This is not possible. to make it work the dev's needs to add a special sort criteria to cater for this.

Yeah, I guess I need a NOSORT option in the Sort Order list.
Or the dev's should just not sort the results of the playlist... this is how I logically thought it would work, and was surprised to see that it was sorting when I did not ask for a sort order. It took me a while to work out it was sorting by DATE-ADDED too.
Thanks anyway

Anubis,
as Bex wrote:

so for now the only workaround I see is to use Custom fields for sorting.

I'm still interested in this feature being added to MM.
On top of what I explained in the previous post.... I also have this additional requirement for a "NOSORT" option...
I have a playlist (Lets call it MYLIST-MANUAL), not an auto paylist, but a manually created one, with the songs in a very specific order...
I'd like create an auto-playlist (MYLIST-AUTO) with MYLIST-MANUAL as it's input, but excluding any songs played in the last week.
At the moment when I do this, I loose the manually selected order of the songs from MYLIST-MANUAL when they are brought into MYLIST-AUTO, which defeats my purposes.
I really want to the MYLIST-AUTO list to be in the original order from MYLIST-MANUAL, just without the songs already played from it.

I'd like to second this request.
