Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] sorting on columns in playlists and libraries



I put the genre-bpm-rating in the comments field so that it is tranferrable between different players. If I just sort on the comment field, I get a very usable listing for playing live.

Oh, now I know what you meant. You mean the "Track", "Album", etc. columns. Sorry for misreading. As far as I can tell, the reason sorting doesn't work on playlists is because some people want their playlists in a specified order, and sorting the list might kill that. But I'm not a developer or designer, so I can't really speak for them.
