GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 537110
sorting does not work always
Last modified: 2008-06-18 12:45:11 UTC
I want to sort my library on Track number but this does not work for all albums. Some albums really sort from 1->last_track but some don't...
Created attachment 112316 [details] banshee wrong sort on track number Here is a screenshot of the behavior with my library.
I have noticed this as well. I believe it is the way banshee is sorting, If the tracks in an album do not all have the same artist then the sorting does not work correctly.
Created attachment 112903 [details] [review] Fixes the track sort bug. Previously when sorting by track, sort would only work correctly if the tracks all had the same album and artist. This patch changes the behaviour so that the tracks must only have the same album title. Improvements: If you have lots of compilation albums, these will now be sorted properly when sorted by track#. Implications: If you have lots of albums with the same album name, by different artists, these will become mixed up when sorting by track#. Given that sorting by track only seems to be useful to me when I am playing through a particular album from start to finish, I feel the new behaviour provided by this patch is preferable.
Thank you for your patch. Some stuff from translators.xml slipped into your patch, please remove it. I can't comment on the implications or merits of the change, as I don't have any compilation album.
Created attachment 112953 [details] [review] Update to previous track sort fix Same as previous patch except the changes from translators.xml that appeared in the original patch have been removed.
Please look at bug 517671; I believe this is a duplicate? Can you test with current SVN to see if the problem is resolved?
Andrew, I agree, the latest version does appear to have fixed this bug. Thanks.
Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and to test the fix. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 517671 ***
