sorting artist in folder view
Answered
When I open the folder view in the library, songs are sorted alphabetically by their title.
I would very much appreciate the possibility to sort alphabetically by artist instead. In doing so, the artist having several titles stays grouped in a folder with various performers.
Opening the artist view in library gives the albums present, not the tracks for this artist. Very tedious to have to open each album to check which songs are there, or am I missing something?
Hence my suggestion for the alternative sort function.

Folder View is a workaround for poorly transcribed Metadata - if you have clean metadata on your ripped music, please see https://support.bluos.net/hc/en-us/articles/360000058107 for sorting options.

Thank you Tony,
I stand corrected. I was not aware of the changes you made to the recent app's and this is totally my fault as I am a stubborn user of an old, deprecated windows app, over Wine no less since I don't use windows. Can't help it but I so prefer the layout of good old 2.14.0/ 389. BTW, my metadata are well maintained, thank you very much ;)
I didn't find a sort for tracks/ artist/ album in playlists with various songs but that is maybe not so much in demand. (3.14.0)
In a perfect world I would be able to choose a different skin for an app, but I guess this is asking for too much.

Hi! How difficult would it be to implement a scrollbar with the letters alternating alphabetically in folder mode too? It would be a great alternative to poor metadata. I have the habit of creating a folder with artist name/album name, it would make access in folder mode much easier.
