I have Album.sortTags={ArtistSort,Date,Album} which gives me the same sort sort-by-artist-by-date order I have in iTunes and, indeed, the original CDs. Of course, I had to add a flac ARTISTSORT tag to everything which uncovered some problems I had with pictures and tags so that took some little while to sort out.

The other problem I'm glad to see the back of is minidlna's propensity for getting the wrong tracks in an album.

One thing I would like, though, is the ability to sort artists by ARTISTSORT. Is that possible?

Do you mean changing the sort order of artists in the Artist index?

If so, you can do this if you are OK with having the artists indexed by ARTISTSORT value as well as being sorted by ARTISTSORT value. To make this change, add

ArtistSort:Artist

to the indexTags property and remove

Artist

from the indexTags property. This will replace the default Artist index by a custom Artist index that contains ARTISTSORT values instead of ARTIST values.

In a future release, it will be possible to sort the Artist index using ARTISTSORT values while using ARTIST values for what is shown there.
