A7/A8 - Sort order error (FIXED in B2)

[nojac]

In my MM3 A7 library the default is to sort the track list by track name. I can change this the way I want (First by year then by album and track number.. ), but when I go to the next artist it is back to sorting by track name.

Is there a setting somewhere to make the sort order I choose for one artist apply to all? (No problem in MM2)

EDIT: Changed subject from A7 to A7/A8

EDIT EDIT: Added FIXED to subject

Yeah, I can confirm this bug. No sortorder applied is remembered in any node type.

Thanks. Will be fixed in next release.

WooHoo, that's GREAT news. Sometimes it remembers and sometimes it doesn't.

This work much better in A8. But there still are some unwanted behavior present.

1. The Unknown node within any node always has the sortorder set to Title asc

2. The main node of the "Album Artist", "Artist" and "Artist & Album Artist" nodes has its own sortorder (is different from its children).

3. In the classification nodes, the sortorder is not remembered per classification node, i.e. the sortorder applied goes for all nodes. (I believe that's how it was working in MM2.)

It's tested on an DB upgrade from A7 to A8 and not on a fresh new A8 DB.

Do you have standard nodes called "Album Artist" and "Artist" in A8? I just have the new "Artist & Album Artist" (And Magic Nodes...)

You need to enable them in File>Manage filters. Select active filter and press configure.

DELETED (See beow)

It is only for gold

What about the "Choose Tree Nodes" feature? Is that only for gold also? i.e., if you right click on one of the main nodes, do you not see "Options" and "Choose Tree Nodes"?

Yes we see it. But it does not seem to work

The nodes Artist, Album Artist and Conductor are greyed out. If I select them they are not greyed out, but they don't come up after a restart of MM. (And nodes that I deselect do not disappear...)

EDIT: After having rescanned my library and deleted the TweakMonkey script it works! So it is not a Gold feature

Then that feature, too, must be for gold only. As a lifetime gold user, it works on my computer. With the way the "Artist and Album Artist" node is currently working in A8, I've certainly reset my nodes to leave that one out and show Artist and Album Artist as separate nodes.

This haven't been fixed in B1. Perhaps you missed my post?

Fixed in b2
