For a regular playlist click on a column header (or headers) to sort as in any set of tracks. Then right-click on the playlist name; the first menu item should be Update Play Order. Choosing this will fix the current order as the normal, ongoing order for that playlist. If you add tracks to the playlist you will have to manually re-sort and re-update. You set the sort order for auto-playlists under the Advanced tab of the Edit Auto-Playlist form.

hi
but this will sort only when i click on artist in the tree ? or it will sort even my playlist and smart playlist?

thanks Lowlander
appreciate your help

You did on the screenshot in the first post. Just click on the Album Artist Column Header in the Filelisting to sort on it.

Lowlander wrote:On the Column Headers in the Filelisting. See the little arrows next to Title, Artist and Date, that is a sort order you've applied at some point. Click on the Album column header to sort on Album Artist (which automatically sorts on Album Artist > Album > Disc# > Track#).

hi
can you please upload a screenshot?
thanks

i haven't any little arrows

On the Column Headers in the Filelisting. See the little arrows next to Title, Artist and Date, that is a sort order you've applied at some point. Click on the Album column header to sort on Album Artist (which automatically sorts on Album Artist > Album > Disc# > Track#).

Lowlander wrote:It looks like you are sorting on Date > Artist > Title. Is that not the same sort you see when adding to the Now Playing? That seems to work here (using Play Last). So if you sort on Album (or Album Artist > Album) you'd get files in Album order.

hi
but how can i sort for example album , album tracks 1, 2, 3, ,4 5, 6,and so on ?

i can't find any option in the preferences ?

i would like to sort artist , date , album and tracks can i ?
thanks

It looks like you are sorting on Date > Artist > Title. Is that not the same sort you see when adding to the Now Playing? That seems to work here (using Play Last). So if you sort on Album (or Album Artist > Album) you'd get files in Album order.

hi
maybe i was not clear
i mean does it sort when i click on the band , album and track number , for example -> a moon shaped pool -> and 1 ,2, e and other tracks and after for for example kid A and tracks number

i have tried and seems it sorts without an order and a random order

can somebody test and report please?
sorry for my poor english
thanks
