Sorting

I have removed the tagOption ComposerSort.reverseName.display, and tagValue Composer.default={ComposerSort}

I now understand that what I want to change is the index value (as well as display value).

Did you mean "as well as sort value"? I thought you wanted to leave the display value as the value you have tagged as Composer.

Quote:However, the following sections confuse me:

'If the file has both these tags, MinimServer uses the sort value from the ComposerSort tag to set the sort value for the Composer tag and leaves the display and index values for the Composer tag unchanged.'

and then:

The above settings will use the original value of the ComposerSort tag as the index value, which means index entries will be shown as "lastname(s), firstname(s)". If you prefer to see index entries as "firstname(s) lastname(s)", you can use the tagValue setting ComposerSort.reverseName.display.index instead of ComposerSort.reverseName.display.

These quotations are from the bulleted section that doesn't apply to the tagging approach you are using, so they aren't relevant to your situation.

Quote:I want to use my own Composer tag for index and display. I just can't get the index value to show in the sort value position in the lists of Composers.

From your previous post, I thought you wanted to use the Composer tag value for display and the ComposerSort tag value for sort. I'm still not quite sure which of these tags you want to use to provide the index value.

Quote:I do have some 20 warnings in my log, but not related to this tag. They are of the form:

Warning: custom value conflict for ARTIST tag '........

What does this mean? What is conflicting with what? I've tried to find documentation on the log, but so far failed. Sorry.

This means you have a tagValue Artist.value.xxx setting that is producing a conflict. If you can post your Artist.value setting(s) and the full text of the messages you are getting, I can provide a more detailed explanation.
