Bug should be [url=https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=30&t=86639&sd=d]fixed in builds 2626+[/url]

[url=https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/WebHelp:Filelisting/5.0#Changing_Sorting]Multi-sort[/url] is available when sorting on the column headers directly with Ctrl.

[quote]This work-around doesn't support the full multi-level sorting order of the dialog box. [/quote]
It does very well.

My basic attitude and I won't change anything:

I submitted a ticket to support. They confirmed the behavior and it's slated to be fixed in the next release. There's a work-around, however. Instead of using the Column Choose dialog to specify the sort order, instead just click on a column to sort by that field. Then the Save New Order button appears. This work-around doesn't support the full multi-level sorting order of the dialog box. But at least it puts it in some kind of order.

Hi,
thanks for reporting, I can confirm that if the sorting is configured via the 'Choose column / sort' dialog then it fails to show the 'Save new order' button.
Workaround is to left-click the column header.

To be fixed as https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=19085

Fantastic - seems to be working!

[quote]Feature request - anyone???[/quote]
1. Yes, finally update to the latest MM5-beta version (Link is in my signature)
.......If you don't, only God can help you.
2. Download the Addon Randomise Playlist
3. Install the addon
4. Then look at my pictures again

Thus I cannot save a playlist in randomized order...

Feature request - anyone???

Fidocat wants to save the new numbering and cannot find the button for it.

[quote]So now a new question - do you know a way to randomize my playlist or randomize the view and then save that order to my playlist?[/quote]
AddOn: Randomise Playlist https://www.mediamonkey.com/addons/browse/item/randomise-playlist-1/
Context menu to a playlist in the MediaTree - you can see everything else in my picture.

[url=https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/WebHelp:Playing_Audio_Tracks/5.0#Managing_the_Playing_queue]Randomize[/url] is available in the [url=https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/WebHelp:Now_Playing/5.0]Playing[/url], but not available on Playlists themselves.

MediaMonkey also can't restart playback in a Playlist after you played it partially. [url=https://www.mediamonkey.com/wiki/WebHelp:Using_AutoPlaylists/5.0]AutoPlaylists[/url] can filter out recently played files and be based on a regular Playlist.

Not sure what you meant

[quote]You "right-click=context menu" in a column heading and then choose "Choose columns/Sort". THIS IS WRONG.[/quote]

Are you saying this dialog should not contain the misleading word "Sort", and that sorting is accomplished by left-clicking on a column header, which is standard way of sorting tables???

If so, I agree, unless there is something intended in there we don't understand.

So now a new question - do you know a way to randomize my playlist or randomize the view and then save that order to my playlist?

I keep looking for a way to play in random order, and re-start where I left off last time.

I analyzed the "error" of "FidoCat" and revised my post from 16. May 2022, 22:09.

@FidoCat
I don't give up easily.

Strange the sorting function would be placed in the unrelated Choose Columns dialog.[/quote]

========================================================================================

Image 1: shows the playlist ascending by Order-Number#
If I sort by "Genre", the order after Order-Number# is mixed up and at the same time appears:
see Image 2: the button "Save new order"

Please capture the problem in a debug log (step 4b) and attach the log to a Support Ticket: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=86643 You may also want to offer your [url=https://www.mediamonkey.com/support/knowledge-base/mediamonkey-install-config/modifying-the-mediamonkey-db-and-ini-files/]database file[/url].

This will help a developer analyze why this occurs on your setup.

I updated to 5.0.3.2625 but unfortunately I still get the symptom. Strange the sorting function would be placed in the unrelated Choose Columns dialog. And it doesn't contain a feature to permanently apply the new sorted order to the playlist. It seems like MM needs a dedicated sorting dialog with this feature.
