sorting NG Playlist question
Hi all, this question has been raised a lot, and actually, I feel a little bit dumb, but I cannot find a way to get the sorting the way I want it. I've read not all posts of this huge threat, but google didn't helped me neither. Hopefully, reading the last hours gave me knowledge about the important infos, you need to know to tell me what -obvious things- I am still missing... What I want is: grouping all my playlist items in a single Group. When I click on Tracknumber or Artist, I want to sort for Tracknumber or Artist, but keep the grouping intact.Unfortunately, this is not working . The grouping is mixed up, while manually sorting by clicking on the column-headers of the NG Playlist. I have only one single grouping pattern %DISCOGS_RELEASE_ID% which is the Release ID of the DiscgoGS site for i.e. an Album. Im my screenshots, its the "DG_ID" column on the very left. My set up: F2k-Prefs -> Display-> ColumsUI -> Playlist view -> Grouping -> [X] show groups -> Script -> [%DISCOGS_RELEASE_ID%] or just %DISCOGS_RELEASE_ID% This tag DISCOGS_RELEASE_ID is unique for each Album in the playlist, and I assume, that all of my tags on my files are correct too. General Set up: -Win7 64Bit, German -f2k 1.3.10, -CUI 0.5.0 (also tested with 0.3.x versions) -I use NG Playlist -activated or deactivated [X] sort incoming files by %path_sort% (Which I understand is not important when manually sorting...) -No Theming on Quick Setup -Playlist grouping with or w/o Artwork -No active Sort Scripts in F2k-Prefs -> Display-> ColumsUI -> Playlist view -> Columns -> Scripts -> [ ] use custom sort script Those are the tags for one album, shown in the playlist: Each album has a single unique DISCOGS_RELEASE_ID (DG_ID) , so I expect the grouping to work like this mockup: because: 1) DG_ID is the same, so grouping is applied here for two albums. 2) Title sorting was activated by hand, so Titles are sorted alphabeticially. But instead, I get: So, there is obviously something wrong with my understanding of grouping and the behaviour of this great component, which I use since years, but never had enabled the grouping with artwork before. Anyways, the same strange thing happens, when I change the grouping script to [%DISCOGS_RELEASE_ID%][ / %ALBUM ARTIST%][ / $if2(%DISCOGS_RELEASED%,%DATE%)][ / %ALBUM% ][ / CD%DISCNUMBER%] or any other, like:[%ALBUM ARTIST% ][/ %DATE% ][/ %ALBUM% ][/ CD%DISCNUMBER%] Anybody willing to throw 2 cents ? ;-)
