Sort playlist like Artist - Album,Title but sort title track wise.

Hello Im looking for a way to sort my music like this.
Artist - Album,Title
So I get a list in alphabetical order according to artist but then it sorts the artist by album and finally the album by track number 1-xx. I hope you guys can understand this any input is greatly appreciated. If needed I suppose I can provide a example.

You can use the Media Library to sort your files (by clicking the column headers) and then load the files into your playlist editor.

Another option is to use ActiveWinamp with a sorting script.
Some examples can be found here.

Eg. a script to sort on artist, album and then tracknumber:
http://www.myplugins.info/activewina...bum_then_track


You can of course also change the ATF string to be able to sort on the tracknumber:
Prefs (Ctrl+P) > Titles > ATF
[%artist% - ][%album% - ][%tracknumber% - ]$if2(%title%,$filepart(%filename%))

Be sure to re-read metadata, and then sort on title.
In the playlist editor:
click 'Sel' button > Sel All / Select all (Ctrl+A)
click 'Misc' button > Misc (Opts) > Read extended info on selection (Ctrl+Alt+E)
click 'Misc' button > Sort (List) > Sort list by title

But if I understand correctly you don't want to change the title display in the playlist, so you would need to go for one of the other options (ML or ActiveWinamp).

If you're bored go here or, if the boredom is more serious, here.

Actually I took what you provided
"[%artist% - ][%album% - ][%tracknumber% - ]$if2(%title%,$filepart(%filename%))"
and changed it to
"[%artist% - ][%album% - ][%title% - ]$if2(%tracknumber%,$filepart(%filename%))". For the most part I like that so right now Im having it rescan my music.
