How to use ComposerSort INSTEAD of Composer

[paultaylor]

Hi Simon

Im just trying to configure a default MinimServer instance so it uses the value of the ComposerSort field rather than the Composer field (all my files have a value for ComposerSort if they have a value for Composer) , and hence using the Linn Kinsky control app on Windows I want it to display the ComposerSort value rather than the Composer value when you open Composer

My first approach was set:
aliasTags:ComposerSort:Composer

Now each composer is listed twice once using ComposerSort value and once using Composer value, but I understand why that doesnt work as I have simply added ComposerSort as another value to use as Composer (rather than replace the value)

So I reverted that change and tried changing

indexTags:Artist, Date, Genre, All Artists, Composer, Conductor, Orchestra

to

indexTags:Artist, Date, Genre, All Artists, ComposerSort, Conductor, Orchestra

But MinimServer complains Incorrect tag name ComposerSort in property tagCustom

So I reverted that and tried adding

itemsTags:ComposerSort
tagValue:Composer.value.sort={ComposerSort}, Composer.default={ComposerSort}
which I took from a forum post, the options were accepted, but after rescanning it made no difference

I spent some time reading the manual, but Im clearly misunderstanding something.

thanks Paul
