I know there are a lot of sorting question, so here is another one.

If you sort the Library on Artist, realeasedate it sort albums on firstnames instead of Sirnames.

So Macy Gray is under the M and Zac Brown is found under Z.

Is this something you can change in a future release?

Best regards, GJ

  I'm assuming this would need both Bluesound to build something to look at the "sort artist" tag, and the user to have files tagged properly in that field.

  So for example you would need Macy Gray to be tagged as "Gray, Macy" in the sort artist field for it to pick up a change that Bluesound would make.

  I doubt (hope) they wouldn't just have this run off the normal "Artist" field otherwise band names would also be changed and you'd have it sorting Black Sabbath under S and Red Hot Chili Peppers under probably P!
