GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 342835
[Patch] More natural sorting of playlists by artist
Last modified: 2006-07-02 19:33:58 UTC
I noticed that if you sort playlists by artist, the songs of one album are not kept together, but get intermixed. This patch should change this. It may need testing, but hasn't made problems with my banshee so far (and I use with a few hours a day). Other information:
Created attachment 66146 [details] [review] Patch for more natural by-artist sorting I also removed one two spaces that shouldn't be there according to HACKING.
Changelog: 2006-05-24 Denis Washington <dwashington@gmx.net> * src/PlaylistView.cs: If sorting by artist, secondarily sort by album so tracks from different albums of one artist don't get mixed up.
I can confirm the original behaviour, and the supplied patch seems to make sure albums are sorted properly within artists while sorting by the latter. The only thing this misses is also sorting by track n# within albums :)
Looking at the code, this is already done in 0.11.0 cvs.
Can we confirm that this bug can be closed since it's fixed in cvs? If so, I'll close the bug.
No, i meant the secondary by-track sorting when sorting by album is fixed in cvs (replying to comment #3), but the sorting-by-artist problem still remains without the patch submitted here.
Applied in CVS. Thanks!
