Sorting

[swdick]

As these questions are exactly what I'm struggling with I post them in this thread.

My problem is that the composers are in the format "first name last name".
I do not use (so far) the ComposerSort tag (don't understand exactly what it is for as the Composertag is also used for indexing).
I thought I could sort the composers using the Composer.reverseName.display.index but that doesn't work as the composers are stil ordered under their first name. I don't think I'll have exeptions in the mentioned format.

I use Kinksy (on PC so far) and a Linn DS-M.

MinimServer can't do automatic name reversal if you have used the "firstnames(s) lastnames(s)" format in Composer tags. You would need to do this using a tagging program such as Mp3tag. There was some forum discussion about this a few months ago (see this post).
