Sort links in Now Playing [#8793]

The sort links in the Now Playing window seem to have stopped working for me. Clicking on Artist, for example, alternates between the upward and downward triangle, but no sorting occurs. Interestingly, when I click Edit>Undo, it lists sort actions that can be undone.

The Randomize and Reverse options under Edit still work.

Yep, I can confirm that. The triangle switches between up and down, but no sorting occurs no matter which category you try and sort by.

EDIT - In fact, if you click on Artist in Now Playing so that it's sorted Z-A, then you restart MM, you'll find that your main library is actually sorted from Z-A, rather than Now Playing. The same is true if you then switch to A-Z and restart the program, so this has to be a bug.

It works 1 time after Installation. So I have the same bug.

Works fine for me. What are exact steps to reproduce?

Sorting on Artist works for me too in both Now Playing window and node.

After some more testing, the Now Playing queue window seems to be only affected when the Library view is in any view that displays the album art (ex: Show Art With Details). When the Library listing is in the text-only Show Details, all the sorting in the Now Playing queue works.

Jea, thats it. If album art is selected the sorting function of the playlist have no effect. Thanks for the (hopefully) temporarily solution. After installation the "text only" was default.

It's all in the details, I can reproduce too. Added as: http://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=8793
