Could there be...?', so I quickly checked the preferences and found that nice '|' stuff for creating column headers. And now I could just click on 'Track' -> sorts by track and after that on 'Artists' -> sorts by artist, retaining the alphabetical order of the songs. :( I'm sorry for stealing your time, this completely solves my feature request, it was just... I never noticed there was a way to activate column headers. -.- *embarrassed* Makes Sonata even greater for me stupid noob! :) Thanks.
