browse by artwork order pref should be browse albums order

Just a reminder... If this pref is going to remain in the 6.5 release and applied to Album browsing, then the text on the settings page needs to be updated.
A change yesterday disabled it for Album browsing.. it only applies to artwork. Future (post 6.5), my plan is to have drop down selections for sorting at each hieararchy level.
I'm not following what you're saying. What was diabled? When I change the pref and enter browse Albums, the sort order is changed.
Ah, I see what you're saying. It's only applied to the gallery view of browse Albums. I get a completely different set of albums when I flip between the two views. Is that behavior just temporary?
Subject: Re: browse by artwork order pref should be browse albums order > Is that behavior just temporary? It could be.. Either the pref name could be changed, or it's kept this way. It seems odd to me to have Album be the only sortable hierarchy at the moment (though the most flexible one).
No, I mean why is the order now only applied to the gallery view? Seems inconsistent to move between the two views and see a completely different set of albums on the page. I see if I go into browse Years or browse Artists using the gallery view that this ordering isn't applied. Instead of my artist/year/album, I see sorting by album name, so the pref seems to still apply to just browse Albums.
Yes, that is correct, it only applies in Album Gallery view right now.
I've moved the sorting to the album level pages. The sort will now affect both list & gallery views. Change 8847
