Problems with Columns UI and albumlist panel

I for a long time listen to music on a computer on Foobar2000 because it has the most transparent sounding.

But only recently has engaged in its interface - foo_ui_columns and foo_albumlist (foo_uie_albumlist).

I have seen one lack foo_ui_columns which does not allow to display logically the order of songs in an album under number of a track. This absence of global sorting ui_columns.

At foo_albumlist (panel) is present two lacks:

1. It is one global sorting on all strings of display playlist. To switch sorting at each switching a string of display playlist, it is necessary to come in Foobar2000-Preference-Album list and manually to switch a string of sorting.

2. I cannot write a string of display of directories which cleverly would display all directories database, thus having allowed me to show the name songs taken from Tags.

Therefore I address for the help. Somebody could solve these problems?

Have you tried looking at the main menu, "playlist->sort->sort by..."?  A simple sort string like "%artist% - %album% - $num(%tracknumber%,2) - %title%" should do the trick.

You offer ordinary  manual sorting.
Which it is necessary to do each time as opens next playlist. 
Otherwise display playlist will be in standard sorting Foobar2000.

I am interested with the global sorting, established by the user.

As I understand Columns_UI displays playlist to the sorting  default rigidly accepted in Foobar2000.

Therefore each time, a  you want to display playlist in sorting the user, it is necessary for you to do  manual operation of sorting.

Or I am not right?

I think ColumnsUI and album list use the "Sort incoming Files by" string in Preference > Core.  Changing that should let you use any sort order you like, and have it always applied.
