NG Playlist: grouping issue

Same composition, different artist, bad sorting. This is how I group the tracks:

Code: [Select]
$rgb(96,96,96)[ %composer%: ][%artist%][ - %album%]$tab()

So... why does it sort the tracks by track number?  :-\

So you have a problem with the grouping settings or the sorting settings?

Honestly, I have no idea. All I can tell is it doesn't do what I want. file>preferences>display>columns UI>filter tab>sort incoming files by is set to %artist%.

My guess is that it could be fixed just by clicking the column headers which I hid some long time ago and don't know how to bring back.

To wrap things up: it turned out this issue had nothing to do with either Columns UI or NG Playlist. Instead the selection playlist sorts things exactly as they are sorted in the Album List Panel. Kinda obvious since both the sorting scripts and the "auto send to playlist" feature are on the same tab. I just looked at the wrong places entirely. :)
