Sort on load

[lynott]

When adding (or add and play) from ML, it would be nice to set a default sorting order for the loaded tracks. I always sort on "artist-year-album-track ", and have to do this manually on each load.

looking forward to 105 ;)

Ok, so I am running the 110 beta now. Any chance that I am just missing the "auto sort on load" option in the menu?

Under preferences -> Settings -> Loading & Explorer there is an option to "Sort added files by filename on load", though this will only sort based on filename to my knowledge.

Yes, it appears to sort by filename as opposed to the Artist - Year - Album - Track Number - Title that I prefer. I could work around that if I just named all my filenames with those 5 fields, however, it seems that directory structure plays a part in where the filenames pop up in the playlist. For instance, here is what I see given my current setup, which is:

All mp3's are sorted as:
H:\mp3\Artist - Album

Newly downloaded or ripped mp3's that have not been correctly tagged to my liking go in H:\mp3\New Stuff\Artist - Album

I have noticed that all of the files that are in H:\mp3\Artist - Album are being sorted into the Playlist first.... then the ones that are in the New Stuff subdirectory pop up afterwards. Not sure if this is what is supposed to happen, but that's what I see.

Thanks again for trying to help.
