Bugzilla – Bug 7609
show "sort by" options in SBController UI
Last modified: 2008-12-15 13:08:23 UTC
Settings in squeezecenter on computer: search music library, by album. Then sort the albums by artist. So ex all AC/DC albums comes first. This informations doesnt goes to the Duet. When using the Duet , search by album. The albums is sortes by album-name. Why do I want this instead of searching on the menu artist ? Beacuse when searching on albums I get the albumcovers displayed. And I want them sorted by artist as I can i Squeezecenter. or An option in the "Search by artist" so all the covers get displayed directly in the first menu instead of text. Best regards / F
The "Sort By" options in SqueezeCenter are not exposed in the SB Controller UI. Step to reproduce 1) Launch SC 7.x 2) Click on Music Library 3) Click on Album 4) Click on Albumview Options; from here users are able to sort by different options. This "view" option is not replicated in SB Controller UI.
see bug 6591
SC 7.1 change 19968 now sends album lists to SBC sorted by artist, then year, then album. Allowing a user setting for sort would be a more involved change, and I'd like to defer doing that until someone that really wants their album list sorted by album title pipes up.
