autoplaylist sorting question

sorry it's maybe stupid but can somebody help me with finding a sorting method.
I would like the tracks to be sorted in the autoplaylist on rating and within the rating on playcount so you got something like:
5 stars=> all the songs with 5 stars and then the songs that are played the most till the songs with 5 stars that aren't played a lot
etc. with all the other ratings

Sorry if I'm not clear but my english isn't great so I hope you will forgive me for that...
If you don't understand it just ask than I will try to say it on a other way.

thanks in advance and greets

I'm using Foobar with the autoplaylist and custom info plugin.
My current sorting method is this $sub(999999,%rating%), but I would like something that first sorts on rating and then sorts the same way on playcount.

thanks

Try:
Code: [Select]
$sub(99,%rating%)-$num(%playcount%,10)

thanks for the reply but this doesn't work, the rating sorting is good but it doesn't sort the most played first.

I don't use ether of the playcount plug-ins so I was just guessing  , use whatever you use to display the playcount in playlist/trackinfo/etc.. If that doesn't work it might be a bug, check the appropriate playcount plug-in thread.

Try this if you use official playcount:

Code: [Select]
$sub(5,%rating%)$sub(9999,%play_count%)


Or this if you use the unofficial playcount:

Code: [Select]
$sub(5,%rating%)$sub(9999,%play_counter%)



They should work (if your ratings are from 0-5)..
