How to use ComposerSort INSTEAD of Composer

[simoncn]

There isn't really a distinction between logical and physical names. MinimServer treats all tags internally as name=value pairs. For ID3v2 and iTunes tagging, ID3v2 frames and iTunes atoms are mapped to name=value format as described in the Tag mappings section of the User guide. For FLAC/Vorbis tagging, all name/value pairs are used exactly "as is". ID3v2 and iTunes mapping happens before aliasing is applied, so aliasing always takes a list of name=value pairs as input and produces another list of name=value pairs as output.

With the settings

ComposerSort:Composer, Composer:nil

the input

COMPOSERSORT=Bruckner, Anton
COMPOSER=Anton Bruckner

is converted to

COMPOSER=Bruckner, Anton
NIL=Anton Bruckner

The NIL tag is then ignored because it isn't in the indexTags or itemTags list.

To use the ComposerSort tag as the sort value only, see the description in this section. In this case, you should not have any aliasTags settings.
