Indexing with ArtistSort

[simoncn]

MinimServer does not read ‘AlbumArtist’ rather than ‘Artist’ to compile the ‘indexFormat’. I don't know why you think this is the case.

Also, indexFormat doesn't overwrite the tags in your server library. It only affects what appears in the MinimServer index. However, from your stated requirements, I am not sure that you need to use indexFormat to achieve what you want.

You should remove All Artists:ArtistSort from aliasTags as this serves no useful purpose.

You can show an ArtistSort index containing ArtistSort values by adding ArtistSort to indexTags and removing it from itemTags.

If you want to show an Artist index that is sorted in ArtistSort order and doesn't include track artists from compilation items, you need to allow for the fact that the MinimServer Artist index includes both AlbumArtist tag values (where present in the tags) and Artist tag values otherwise. Is this what you want or do you want this index to contain only AlbumArtist values?
