In iTunes I use the sort order
artist / album by year
So I can do this: set shuffle, play and if I like something for a moment, I unset shuffle and can scroll through the album collection of an artist, sorted by year.
This does not work in Twonky because of wrong sort order.
I create a sort tree artist / year / album. As long as one navigates through the tree and selects an item, this works. It does not work for the selection of a hole collection, namely the -ALL- tag.
I start with the tree and see all artists. If I select an artist, I see all years in which albums were released. Vice versa, if I select -ALL- I expect to see for all artists the year, in which they had an album and this should expand the tree, like
Aband - 2001
Aband - 2002
Csings - 1998
CSings - 2006
Instead of this the tree expands to
1998
2001
2002
2006
and mixes up the artists, what makes no sense for a tree, because this we can also do without a tree.
The same appears again, when the years are expanded again with -ALL-. Instead of
(Aband - 2001 - ) Lovely
(Aband - 2001 - ) Xmas
(Aband - 2002 - ) Tonky wonky
(Csings - 1998 - ) Hey you
(Csings - 1998 - ) Like us
(CSings - 2006 - ) Again
the list now expands to:
Again
Hey you
Like us
Lovely
Tonky wonky
Xmas
If I wanted this list, I would not need a sort tree, I could just sort for album title...
Any hints and suggestions? How can I realise the sort I order I am used to?
