Understood, thanks!

Once they assign a bug tracking number to it, most likely the fix such as they deem suitable, will appear in one of the upcoming betas. There are many bugs being tracked, and when it gets attention depends much on how serious it is deemed to be relative to other bugs in the system.

We must now hope somebody gets at it, and until then, practice our patience. :)

Evidence was requested.

Evidence was provided.

What else is needed to fix this?

Your bug report does not mention the desirability to sort primary per album secondary by track number.

If I am tagging an album, I would like to see if I have all of the tracks in order.

Reproduced with the same Album, added as: https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=19936

ps Just tried it in V5.1 alpha and no change as far as I can see.

And by the way the after lookup built-in sort order is not even correct by album primary as it has subgroups from the same album see my first image above

ie several from Greatest hits, then from The unicorn, then more from Greatest hits

Evidence as requested:

Run autotag with internet disconnected so lookup does not occur. Note tracks in main window are in track number order, autotag is sorted by album/album artist which results in random sort as these existing tags are all identical.

So the point remains we would like the option to sort by track number

We've asked for evidence of this pre-lookup. Post-lookup there are new values changing the sort.

Hang on, it works as expected when the Auto-Tag track order is [b]out of order[/b] and is not respect the order of the selected files in the main window to start with?

Please explain.

Come on, Lowlander, you know what we are looking for.

[b]Feature request [/b]- ability to sort within autotag dialog by [b]album primary and track number secondary[/b] or maybe also simply by track number.

Neither is possible at this time.

Yes, testing shows it works as expected and evidence provided doesn't show it doesn't.

@Lowlander -- is there some other evidence you need?

Can we get this fixed?

Mine shows both together, and yes, the order in the autotag window did change after the lookup.

It appears there is a built-in unchangeable sort order album ascending, album artist ascending, which makes little sense

However, It did not respect the order of the selected files in the main window to start with. #9 - Goodnight irene appears at the top when it opens

Unfortunately that can't be verified based on the screenshot. It lacks the underlying file selection made in the main window.

The screenshot I first linked appears to show that Auto-tag did not in my case.
