Bugzilla – Bug 3906
Sort By pulldown has no effect on sort order on lower levels
Last modified: 2008-12-15 11:58:11 UTC
I'm not sure if this is a new bug, a symptom of bug 3882, or if it's just a work in progress. The only place that the pulldown is changing the sort order is Browse Albums. Under either artist > albums (through Browse Artists or Browse Genres) or year > albums (Browse Years) changing the pulldown reloads the page, but does nothing to the sort order.
Created attachment 1411 [details] feed sort to lower levels This patch fixes the problem, but the comment in the code suggests this should not be done yet as other descend functions may not yet be ready to deal with this.
Dan, I sense that this is one of the class of bugs we were speaking of, which will go away as work continues on 6.5. Shall I just leave it assigned to me and remind myself to test it again in a week or two?
Is this a dupe of bug 3882?

I'm afraid the patch caused a crash when the pulldown was changed. See the attached log.
Chris, 3882 is about the persistence of the setting. going back to the top level currently resets to album sort every time. this bug is about the levels below the top level, where the feature is not yet implemented. Technically, neither is really a bug; it's those work in progress cases that fill up the changelog.
Roger that. I will ignore "sort by" errors for now.
Ross, could you try to reproduce this with today's nightly, please?
This 'issue' is indeed still prevalent. All the options from this pull-down make no changes to the order. SlimServer Version: 6.5b1 - 9195 - Windows XP
The patch previously is the right fix for this specific issue. However, as also mentioned, this causes a crash in many cases. Unfortunately, that's outside my ability as far as working with the schema, so I'd have to rely on Dan to get the lewer levels ready to accept sort order.
Fixed in change 9574
Verified to be fixed in 6.5b2.
This bug has been fixed in the latest release of SqueezeCenter! Please download the new version from http://www.slimdevices.com/su_downloads.html if you haven't already. If you are still experiencing this problem, feel free to reopen the bug with your new comments and we'll have another look.
