Failure to order album art when multiple images

This was discussed in http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewto ... =1&t=37875.
In that thread the issue was verified by nohitter151.
When I brought it up in that topic I used MM 3.0.6.1190. I have since installed 3.0.7.1191 and the behavior seems to be the same.

When using multiple images as album art (in particular Cover (front) and Cover (back)) in WMA Lossless files, then it is often impossible to order the images such that Cover (front) is first/top. As a result, many of my WMA Lossless files in my library shows the wrong image (Cover (back)) in the Album Art pane while playing the track.

The behavior seems to depend on the jpg files used - for a particular WMA Lossless file one set of jpg images can be problematic while another set of images "work".

I have uploaded a WMA Lossless file and two set of images (front.jpg, back.jpg, front2.jpg, back2.jpg) that demonstrates the problem. Please let me know and I will PM you the url for these. I have lots of WMA Lossless files and album art that demonstrates this issue.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1- started with an empty MM library
2- told MM to re-scan S:\test, and it finds one WMA Lossless track (with no album art at this point) freshly ripped by EAC
3- in Windows Explorer, right click+Copy the front.jpg
4- in MM, with the track sleected, right-click+Paste in the Album Art pane; selected Image Type: Cover (front)
5- in Windows Explorer, right click+Copy the back.jpg
6- in MM, with the track selected, right-click+Paste in the Album Art pane; selected Image Type: Cover (back)
=> Cover (back) ends up as the "first"/"top" image
7- in MM, right click track+Properties, Album Art pane - use green arrow to move the Cover (front) up top, click OK
=> Cover (front) is displayed in the Album Art pane but clicking anywhere else in the library and then again selecting the track, the Cover (back) is yet again displayed and is the "first"/"top" image. Right clicking the Album Art pane and selecting Edit Album Art properties verifies that Cover (back) is yet again at the top...

8- remove the two images from the track
9- repeat with front2.jpg and back2.jpg
10- observe that MM manages to correctly order these two images
