Hi. I wanted to ask if we could get a way to re-order relase types in the artist page.
It doesn’t really solve a problem, but it would be nice for customization as for each person it makes sense to prioritize some relase types. For example I would love EPs to come before Singles.
It would help mostly with customization and visibility.
Sorry no plans for that as there’s also all the custom types to handle.
I totally get that, considering custom types.
Would alphabetical order be an option? That would place albums, EPs and singles in that order, but also avoid having to handle custom values.
Yeah that would do the trick 
, and should be general enough to implement.
Except that it only works in one language and still does not take in account the custom values that could be anything.
I guess most people have their tags in one language. You can just use the programming language’s default sorting implementation, if people don’t like that sorting, they can disable it. Doesn’t even have to be enabled by default.
There’s really no drawback to adding such option in my opinion. It is just sorting a list…
Well, there’s not one single perfect solution, I guess.
One thing I’m wondering about, though, is what kind of sorting the release type tag follows now. I have one artist with a few extra types, and the order becomes Albums - Singles - EPs - Soundtracks - Mix - Bootleg. I don’t understand the logic, as it seems neither alphabetical or based on amount of releases for the types.
Of course, all this is not hugely important in the grand scheme of things, but having EPs sorted above singles would be neat, at least.
Yep, it just makes sense for eps to go after albums, since it goes from more songs in a release to less. They are basically a mini-album, and usually an ep or album contains a single, so you get to see “more” by scrolling less.
I like collecting singles and usually end up with hundreds of them, for example, I have 135 deadmau5 singles and it takes a while to get to the EPs. Having albums (and compilations, as it is now) then ep then singles then the rest seems like a good enough balance, specially because artists usually have no more than a few EPs compared to singles.
I’ll move the EPs above, but I’ll ping you both on each complaints and you’ll have to deal with the users.
Deal lol. Thank you so much!
Lol was actually trying to figure out how to do this for so long. Appreciate moving the EP above Singles. I actually wanted to move my Mixtapes release type above singles as well. I agree with the sentiment of going from larger releases to smaller ones like EPs and Singles.
that’s a fair price to pay, thank you
