[QUOTE="Nikki Locke, post: 1253912, member: 163729"] Why is the option to group items in lists called "Filter"? In all the other programs I use, "Filter" means to remove some of the entries from display altogether. Indeed, if you install the WebRadio plugin, you will find the filter option presents a dialog where you choose which categories to include, and when you OK that, only those categories are shown in the list. Just like what I expect from a filter! In MP2, setting a filter seems to add an extra level to the display, containing all the values in the chosen category, you choose that and the next screen shows all the items in that category. In other words, it groups the items by the chosen category. Why not use the term "Group by" or maybe "Combine" (such as in the Windows taskbar). [/QUOTE]
