I’d like for the album type tags in the Album About Section to be in alphabetic order the same way they appear in the UI for Album type tags.
Problem solved:
Not so much of an issue I was just expecting the tags to appear in order & I can’t seem to consistently get them to do so.
Brought benefits:
Consistency across all views in the app
Other application solutions:
Additional description and context:
I was expecting the order seen in Screenshot 1 for these tags but in Screenshot 2 you can see what appears in the About Section, it is different.
The tag itself is
RELEASETYPE “Deluxe Edition//𝗠𝗧 | Secular//𝗠𝗥 | PG-13”
Unfortunately the tags don’t stay in that order either (it’s not alphabetic either but the Standard Releasetype tag is first which is mostly what I care about)
PS: If me simply moving these tags to ALBUM_TAGS / TAGS is easier for you I can just do that
The only options I saw were “Album” or “Other” but neither of those helps me find specific types of Albums so I opted to utilize custom tags instead.
Even is Scenarios like “Remix” I like to be able to distinguish Official Remixes from Un-Official ones or Live Recordings vs Live Performances
Then I had albums that were absolutely monstrous which led to “S-Tier Edition” which is a bit more special than just “Compilation”.
S-Tier Albums for me have:
Original Release
Deluxe / Bonus Release
[Extras, these Vary]
Unreleased Versions
Instrumentals
Remixes (Official & Non-Official, Jersey / Chopped & Screwed…etc. )
Acoustic or Live Versions like A COLORS SHOW / Tiny Desk Concerts
External Renditions (Violin / Instrument Cover, Standard Cover [By another artist])
An album that has all that VS a regular compilation album “The Best of Sade” I felt should be classified differently.
Beyond that I added some tags for Content Ratings & Media Type so I can easily sort albums
Secular ← Neutral → Religious
Kid Friendly ← General Audiences → Adults ONLY
Firstly wanted to thank you for implementing this.
The Short:: 1 or more of the following is happing
• I am misunderstanding the rules for alphabetizing / sorting
• There an error in Sorting
• My tags are causing unexpected behavior
The Long:
I retagged some files. Deleted cache & imported them with the new tags
I’m at a loss on the alphabetizing. I’m not sure what the rules are.
These are snippets from a few albums in the library.
At first I was expecting the order which is seen from the Album Types View of the app where the mathematical characters sort after all the standard letters.
After peaking around It appeared as though the sorting is just recognizing the mathematical characters as letters so Mathematical M is just seen as M…This hypothesis was also incorrect.
After looking at all my Singles Albums (RED X) the Sorting does not seem to do that.
I’ve uploaded some Tracks & logs with Description
“ALBUM TYPE__”
I’m assuming this is user error but I haven’t figured out my flaw(s) yet.
