First of all: Great work! At the moment it seems that the automatic playlist first filters, then limits and sorts at last. I tried to filter out my top 200 songs and ended up with different playlists depending on the search criteria: 1) Filter all songs with rating > 4 stars, sort by rating, limit to 200. 2) Filter all songs with rating > 2 stars, sort by rating, limit to 200. The resulting playlists should be identical but they aren't. In 2) my highest rated song is not shown. Changing the order to filter->sort->limit would fix that. > One thing I was trying to come to a decision about was sorting normal > playlists.

Keeping the common "sort-by-click-on-column-header" would be best for consistency. How about this: The user arranges the songs to her preference. Then, as usual, when clicking on a column header the list is sorted in ascending order, on the second click in descending order. And on the third click, the previous custom order is restored. -- so long, oliver Public GPG Key: http://www.core-dump.info/olemke-public.asc Fingerprint: 2389 0B2C 1AA8 4E3E D5AD 3B72 00DB ABDC 73ED C558
