Sorting Artist properly

[simoncn]

To sort and display artists as you wish, you can use one of the following options.

Option 1:

1) Tag all your files like this:
Artist: Agnes Obel
ArtistSort: Obel, Agnes

2) Set these properties:
itemTags: ArtistSort
tagValue: Artist.value.sort={ArtistSort}

Option 2:

1) Tag all your files like this:
Artist: Obel, Agnes

2) Set this property:
tagOptions: Artist.reverseName.display.index

Both these options require your files to be tagged with FamilyName, FirstName in either the Artist tag or the ArtistSort tag. You will not be able to do what you want if your files don't have these tags.

To make albums for each artist sort by year, add the following setting to tagOptions:

Album.sortTags={Date}
