Control Points issues - e.g. Artist and AlbumArtist

[Baba Yaga]

Let me start with stating that the following is not related to an issue in Minimserver but the way the control Points are handling the information.

I am primarily using Lumin as CP, but always double-check with Kazoo.

I have entered the following in Mnimserver:
"Artist.ignore.sort.index={The},Albumartist.ignore.sort.index={The}"

In Lumin this has basically no effect at all, not in Album Artist view and not in the separate Artist view.

In Kazoo is an Artist and an Albumartist view. It seems though that in Artist view if the Album Artist tag is populated, that one is used and not the Artist tag, basically the two views for Artist and Albumartist are somehow combined. In Album Artist view everything is as expected (no Artists listed). 'The' is ignored in both views as intended.

So neither one of the CPs really works the way I would like it to, Kazoo being much closer to it.

Another example: "Composer.reverseName.display.index"

Here in Kazoo everything works fine, while in Lumin in Composer view the sorting is done based on the First Name, not the Last Name, e.g. Anton Brucker is right next to Anton Webern.

I still prefer Lumin due to its better GUI and the sizability of the viewing area on my iPad. I was hoping that some smart use of Minimservers parameters would allow me to trick Lumin but that didn't work.

Has anyone else seen the same issues and maybe even found a way around them?
