[REQ] Sorting by Summary [#18314]

In MM4, I was able to sort the Summary column.

This appears to be not working in MM5.

Any guidance is gratefully accepted

I think the problem is that my MM Gold plan expired with v5. Some features unavailable

No, the problem is with MM5.
You are trying to sort the display by clicking the column heading?
For some reason they decided not to transfer that behaviour to MM5, for the Summary column.

You need to manually set the sort for the View.
The "easiest" way as as follows:
  • click the Album column
  • then shift click AlbumArtist, and optionally Track# columns
Or if you don't have those columns on display:
  • View>MainPanelView>ManageViews menu option
  • select your View, and click the pencil icon to edit the View
  • Use the "sorting" section to set the sort sequence
Unfortunately you need to repeat this action in every Collection|Node where you need this
