[QUOTE="Koudijs, post: 134662, member: 28616"] I checked the code for the current implementation of the sort function within My Music and discovered the following: In the Shares view the sort method is saved in the database on a per directory basis. For all database views (Genres till Songs) the sort method is not saved, as reported before in this forum. As long as Mediaportal is running the sort method is stored on a per level basis. A level is a line in the Music->Music Views configuration in Setup (e.g. I configured the Artists view as Artist:Album:Track so this makes three levels). By changing the sort method of a specific level and view all corresponding levels of the other views are changed as well. The current implementation is in my opinion not very usefull and therefore I modified it based on the method I already described in my previous post. I created a fixed relation between the Selection column in Music->Music Views and the used sort method: [CODE][B]Selection[/B] [B]Sort[/B] album Album artist Artist title Title, genre Name, year Name, track Track, timesplayed Rating rating Rating favorites Name[/CODE] The fields that are displayed for the different sort methods can still be configured in Music->Music Sort. To make the change I performed a bit clearer I added some screenshots: [LIST=1] [*]Artists view; artist selection (level 1); automatically sorted by artist [*]Artists view; album selection (level 2); automatically sorted by album [*]Artists view; track selection (level 3); automatically sorted by track [*]Songs view; title selection (level 1); automatically sorted by title [/LIST] This implementation has not the maximum flexibility but gives a better useability without additional configuration. I invite all of you to give your opinion about this. After that I would like to commit my changes to SVN. Regards, Jan [/QUOTE]
