tagOptions?

Welcome to the MinimServer forum!

You can't have different Album.sortTags settings for classical albums and rock albums. What you can do is create a new tag (let's say AlbumOrder but any name is fine) and populate it from either your Composer tag (for classical) or your Artist tag (for rock). To do this, add AlbumOrder to itemTags and put the following in tagValue:

AlbumOrder.default={Composer, Artist}

This will set the AlbumOrder value to the Composer value if there is a Composer tag (your classical albums) or to Artist if there is no Composer tag (your rock albums).

Now you can set sortTags to:

Album.sortTags= {AlbumOrder, Album}

and you should get what you want if all your Composer tags are tagged as lastname, firstname.

Also, you should change:

Composer.reverseName.display, Composer.reverseName.index

to:

Composer.reverseName.display.index

as your second setting (reverseName.index) is currently overriding your first setting (reverseName.display).

Putting this all together, you would have:

indexTags: Genre, Artist, Composer, #AudioQuality
itemTags: AlbumOrder
tagOptions: Album.sortTags={AlbumOrder, Album}, all.ignore.sort={The}, Composer.reverseName.display.index
tagValue: AlbumOrder.default={Composer, Artist}

I have removed AlbumArtist from itemTags because you are not using this anywhere else in your settings.
