Hi Johannes,

The Artist sorting actually sorts by Artist->Album->Disc->Track. If you have
a lot of albums in your playlist, it's a pretty sensible default. But I do
notice now that there isn't any way to sort by song title (unless you have a
column that starts with song title, then you can click on the column name).
Perhaps I should add it, it'd be pretty simple to do.

I'm afraid I don't understand the connection between this suggestion and
your previous paragraph - how would the reverting the sort by clicking on
the column headers help you sort by song titles? I also don't understand how
it fits in with the current sonata behavior where the column headers sort
the column by either ascending or descending. I find that to be pretty
intuitive. I have heard suggestions about allowing a third click on the
column header to perform your 'revert' action - but that's much less simple
to code than the current behavior.

Anyway, I'm struggling a little to understand. Can you clarify?

Scott
