I am busy revising my classical music tagging scheme, in part to take
advantage of the new additional browse modes for different contributors
(conductors etc). However, I'm having difficulty getting the sort order
to work correctly. I am trying to list the contributors in last name
order, but present them in "firstname lastname" format. ARTIST works
fine if ARTISTSORT is defined as "Lastname, Firstname". So does
ALBUMARTIST with ALBUMARTISTSORT. However, the same is not true of
COMPOSER and CONDUCTOR. I haven't tried TRACKARTIST or BAND. I've gone
through various old threads but I'm still not sure why this is - perhaps
because the scanner simply doesn't put COMPOSERSORT or CONDUCTORSORT
into the namesort field in the Contributor database?
Any ideas? If this is the reason, what would be required to make the
treatment of contributors consistent? Or does anyone have a work-round?
