A new option is available for the Custom Tag module making it possible to specify sort tag mapping. So you can specify that ORIGARTIST=ORIGARTISTSORT. 2. If enabled in the Custom Browse menu the sorting will be performed as: - 1. Sort by ARTISTSORT from the contributors in slimserver if contributor exist (if checked in Custom Browse menu configuration) - 2. Sort by a custom tag if specified in Custom Browse configuration (Not very useful, see below for more info) - 3. Sort according to sort mapping specified in the Custom Tag module settings (If the sort tag exist) - 4. Sort by the actual tag value scanned with Custom Tag
The previous sort tag specification in the Custom Browse menus are still available, although I don't think there will be any real cases where it make any sense. Most cases should be better solved with the Custom Tag sort mapping option together with the ARTISTSORT. The only case where the custom tag specified in Custom Browse would make any sense is if you want to override the sorting for a specific Custom Tag menu but still have the standard sorting in the other Custom Tag menus. I just left the option there since it was already implemented. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-trackstat) , 'SQLPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-sqlplaylist) , 'DynamicPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-dynamicplaylist), 'Custom Browse' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-custombrowse),'Custom Scan' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-customscan) and 'RandomPlayList' (http://erland.homeip.net/download/do/viewapplication?name=slimserver-randomplaylist) plugins) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=29846 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list plugins@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
