Sorting is wrong. about headphones

[rembo10]

Yeah, thanks for posting this. It's using the MusicBrainz sort name for sorting - so it'll put Bob Dylan under 'D', The Smiths under 'S', Aerosmith under 'A', etc. For Eagle Eye Cherry it's listed as 'Cherry, Eagle Eye' which is why it's getting put under C.

I kind of dislike this way of sorting, and would prefer maybe just sorting them by the first letter, with the exception being articles (a, an, the, etc)

I agree with you, its currently very frustrating.

I also noticed that. I was going to recommend you do the sorting with javascript. There's a jQuery plugin called tablesorter, which incidentally is the one Sickbeard uses, that will let you sort a table by several different parameters. And since it's javascript the end user would be able to choose which way to sort the table if in the future more info is included in the main list.

http://tablesorter.com/docs/

This is the file where I see tablesorter being configured in case you decide to use it -- https://github.com/midgetspy/Sick-Beard/blob/master/data/interfaces/default/home.tmpl

Thanks for the info. I'm going to add some jQuery stuff pretty soon - this version has no javascript but I wanted to add some in. I think there's also a way to do it straight from the sqlite table but it's a little more complicated.

Sorting is fixed - it won't fix the artists in the DB already, but new artists you add will have the updated sort name

Fortunately for me I must have just grabbed the code and rebuilt db right after you committed, as I read your email checked my headphones and its sorted correctly!! Three Cheers for rembo!
