Summary0015475: Dynamic sorting issues
DescriptionThere are a few issues with how focus is handled when tracks in the tracklist are dynamically sorted:

e.g. sort by Album Artist in Descending order.

If a track's Album field is edited in-place (e.g. changed from aAlbum to zAlbum) , and the user presses ENTER
--> 1) The re-sort repositioning of the list isn't immediate (it seems to happen after the tag is updated)
--> 2) The position of the list fails to update correctly (see video)
(focus correctly remains on the selected track)

3) If the user is using the keyboard to TAB through fields and modify them
--> Focus is sometimes lost during the re-ordering/sorting (or worse, focus sometimes ends up on the wrong track)!
It would probably make sense to _not_ resort tracks dynamically when TABbing between fields.

See: https://www.screencast.com/t/TTo8bAzcGP

4) As with case 2), there are other cases where dynamic sorting causes the user to lose context--anytime the user selects a track and edits it outside of the tracklist. e.g.
a) select a track and edit it in Properties
b) select a track and edit it in Auto-tag
--> in both cases, the track(s) get dynamically sorted and the user loses their place/context in the tracklist.

Note: for issues 3/4 Free Commander is an example of a similar app that doesn't dynamically resort in such cases.
TagsNo tags attached.
Fixed in build2265

Verified 1&3 in build 2223. Issues 2, 4 remain open.
I've left this as 'urgent' as the issue is quite severe since it makes in-place editing quite a chore.

It looks like all is fixed.

NOTE: I tested 1,3 for regressions also

Tested 2263 and this isn't fully fixed:
2) Upon editing a field in-place:
a) the position of the list fails to update
b) focus on the selected track is lost (regression)

4) Upon editing a field in Properties, the item is re-sorted, BUT focus on the selected item is lost!

Both of these issues are demonstrated here:

Test note: 0013437 0014393 and 0015185 should be reverified at the same time (i.e. in 2264).

Tested 2264 and:
2a,b) Verified
c) If the user edits a track in-place and then clicks the track above or below
--> the view shifts to the position of the edited track and focus doesn't shift to the track that was clicked!

4) This isn't fixed. i.e. after editing the Album for a single track in Properties --> focus is removed from the track (so if the users presses the UP/DOWN arrows they are unable to quickly navigate to the edited track.

See: https://www.screencast.com/t/ivkeY2ekt00

Note: items at 0015475:0059387 should be tested once these issues are fully resolved.
