Another Sorting Issue

[richardap]

I have a strange sorting issue. With Artwork View i can only sort via Genre, Rating or Length. I have other columns added but they don't appear. Right clicking on the columns simply sorts and doesn't allow me to edit them. i have tried builds 1426 and 1424 (current and get the same thing). It only happens with Music Podcasts, Audiobooks etc allow sorting just fine.

I seem to have no issue sorting in the Podcast Collection on any of the columns in the Art view.

You can't edit the columns in the Art view. This was the same in MediaMonkey 3 and unfortunately is by design.

To provide some rationale: there are only a few fields that contain _album_ specific metadata and all of them are displayed as columns in the Art View.

I disagree, checking the Classical Music Collection I see Artist, Composer, and Genre of which on most Albums their values are different in my Library. On the other hand Album Artist, Conductor, Date aren't available, but more likely to be the same for all files on an Album (Date is available in Music). Rating and Length use totals and Album of course is present.

As a result on an Album where some tracks have Composer and some don't and also Composers differ sorting on Composer just lists the Album in Unknown.

Mostly fixed in bug 8260.
