Log error: Sort Value Conflict

[simoncn]

The Artist index entry for a file is the value of the AlbumArtist tag if the file contains this tag. If the file doesn't contain an AlbumArtist tag, the value of the Artist tag is used. In the example that you posted, all the tracks shown have the same Artist index value so MinimServer groups them together in the Artist index.

By setting Artist.ignore.sort={The}, you are setting the sort values for the Artist tags to 'Manhattan Transfer, The', so some of the tracks have an Artist index sort value of 'Manhattan Transfer, The' and some of the tracks have an Artist index sort value of 'The Manhattan Transfer' (taken from the AlbumArtist tag). This creates a conflict because MinimServer doesn't know whether the artist 'The Manhattan Transfer' should be sorted under M or T.

To resolve the conflict, you can add AlbumArtist.ignore.sort={The}. This ensures a consistent Artist index sort value of 'Manhattan Transfer, The' for all tracks by this artist.
