Summary0017365: The new "Selected by" option is limited
DescriptionIn MM4 user could limit count of tracks in an auto-playlists and specify sort order according to which the tracks are selected as subset
In MM5 we introduced "Selected by" dropdown in addition to sort order.

The problem is that the "Selected by" dropdown has limited set of options and thus does not allow to create identical auto-playlists as in MM4.
Details described here: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=98120

Solution could be to add
Selected by: [Sort order^]
choice and use it for all auto-playlists upgraded from MM4.
TagsNo tags attached.
Fixed in build2305

Fixed in 2294 (and used for auto-playlists imported from MM4)

2294 Confirmed that Sort order works. Not confirmed MM4 import.

I wonder if Sort Order should be the first option listed as it's how MMW4 limiting worked.

As reported by the user this doesn't seem to be working as expected (tested in 2303):

1 Create Auto-Playlist: Search _Music_ ; Match _all_ : Rating=_unknown_ ; Limit to 50 files; Selected by Sort order; Sort by Album, Disc#, Track#
--> observe the list
2 Change the Limit to 500 files
--> the first 50 files change! If the files are being selected based on sort order, then the list of files shouldn't change as the limit is expanded.

Note: an even simpler test of this is to just sort by Title. It yields similar results.

I see, the issue seems to happen only for tracks with unknown title, can you confirm?
i.e. if you add rule 'title is known' then the bug does not occur, right?

It is caused by discrepance beween SQL sort order that takes the empty values at first and MM5 internal sort order that takes the empty values as the last, originally implemented in 0013398

Tested 2304.

Auto-Playlist with the following criteria works:
Search _Music_ ; Match _all_ : Rating=_unknown_ ; Limit to 50 files; Selected by Sort order; Sort by Title

But the following criteria generates no matches:
Search _Music_ ; Match _all_ : Rating=_unknown_ ; Limit to 50 files; Selected by Sort order; Sort by Album

I tested numerous fields and so far the problem only seems to be with Album.
