Playlist organisation

[simoncn]

In folder view the list of folder contents is in three sections, each with different rules for sorting.

1) A list of subfolders, sorted by folder name
2) A list of playlists in the folder, sorted by playlist title
3) A list of audio items in the folder, sorted by album name then item title

The sort order of 1) and 2) cannot be changed. The sort order of 3) can be changed using the folder.sortTags setting.

Are you asking for 1) 2) and 3) to be sorted as a single list or for 1) and 2) to be sorted as a single list preceding 3)? It is hard to see how the sorting of 3) should be combined with the sorting of 1) and 2), given the ability for the user to customise the sorting of 3). Also, listing subfolders before playlists helps the user know which entries represent subfolders and which represent playlists.

I am not sure how your suggestion of using folder view instead of the existing playlist view would work. For example, would you want to see a list of folders containing playlists with other contents of these folders shown or with other contents of these folders not shown?
