Tested 1165. I'm not quite certain how this is supposed to work given that tracks are grouped in Album Art views. However, I can see that it sort of works in Album Art + Details view, but in Album Art view the sort order is always alphabetical even when inverse sort is chosen. Or perhaps that was the intent? i.e. it should only work in AA + Details view? |

For random sorting i've disabled grouping. |

I'm having trouble understanding the logic of what's been implemented--MM is sorting and grouping tracks in playlists/autoplaylists causing the play order to be completely unclear. For any playlist (autoplaylist, regular playlist, Now Playing), by definition, the tracks are in an order that is defined by the playlist rules or by the user. and the fact that MM attempts to group the tracks changes the order of the playlist, rendering the view as unrepresentative of what the defined order of the playlist. The way I think it should work is exactly as it does in details view. i.e.: -Clicking the playlist, autoplaylist, or NP node shows the playlist in the defined order (no grouping) -Clicking a column sorts the tracks based on the clicked column and groups based on the clicked column, but the playlist order isn't actually changed unless the user specifically updates the play order (Alt-F5). To make this clear, the play order #'s should appear (like it does in the Details view). -Clicking the playlist, autoplaylist, or NP node shows the playlist in the correct order (i.e. refreshes the view). |

Fixed default sorting in AA+Details view. For AA without Details it's little different : - in case auto-playlist is sorted by supported field, then sort and group by that - in other cases sort by Artist/Album and disable grouping |

Tested build 1168--it mostly works except for some grouping order problems: 1) Album Art View: a) AutoPlaylists: work fine b) Playlists: Work fine--tracks are always grouped by Artist/Album. 2) Album Art + Details View: a) AutoPlaylists: Work correctly sometimes, and incorrectly other times. It works incorrectly whenever the groups are sorted differently than the tracks. e.g. If an autoplaylist is sorted by Year, then tracks that have no year appear at the end of the list. However, when AA+Details view is selected, the tracks that have no year appear at the beginning, and the playlist appears out of order! b) Playlists: Works correctly. |

The only possible sort orders for AutoPlaylists that should affect AA view are: Album, Album Artist, Year, or Rating (since these are the only available sort orders for which AA view has column headings). Sorting by any of these has no effect on grouping/sort order in AA view in build 1169. Again--I don't think that this is really a serious issue since grouping doesn't make much sense to me in this view. |

Tested 1170: 1) Album Art View: a) AutoPlaylists: work fine b) Playlists: are sometimes listed out of order. e.g. Playlist in Details view: 1. Deathcab - Alb1 - track 1 2. Deathcab - Alb1 - track 2 3. Leonard cohen - Alb2 - track 3 4. Deathcab - Alb1 - track 6 Same Playlist in AA view: Deathcab - Alb 1 (tracks 1 , 2, 6) Leanard cohen - Alb 2 (track 3) |

Closing--my previous comments match the design. I'm still not certain that this is the best design, but we can worry about that we we tackle AA View for Now Playing (0002999). |
