I want to sort them by song titles, though. 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. > So what about retaining the previous order when resorting by clicking on > the columns headings?

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
