Implement default sorting of the playlist view (1.06 KB, patch)
2006-01-12 23:00 UTC, Adam Lofts 		none Details | Review

Description Øivind Hoel 2006-01-11 18:41:39 UTC 
Currently, it seems banshee only supports sorting by one column at a time.

This leads to weirdness(tm) when you want to have the your list sorted
alphabetically by artist, but keep albums separate.

Sorting by artist result: http://appelsinjuice.org/banshee_sortbyartist.png -
Note how albums come up as an incoherent list.

Sorting by album: http://appelsinjuice.org/banshee_sortbyalbum.png - Note the
wildly different names of the bottom two artists in my list.

This situation makes browsing the library a bit of a pain, atleast to me, so I
propose adding the ability to sort by multiple, atleast two columns ;)

Implement default sorting of the playlist view

This is a patch to implement sorting. Sorts by Artist, Album, TrackNumber.

It seems only to sort if you click a column header 3 times. (i.e. to reset the sorting to the "DefaultSortFunction"). This has advantages (like it not delaying banshee startup).
Comment 2 Jeremy Cook 2006-01-16 05:07:37 UTC 
Hopefully some of this would be automatic as well.  For example, if I click to sort by album, the secondary sort should automatically be by track number.
