Performer W/Instruments Sort

[aspaceintime]

I have been updating tags in my library. I want to be able to sort the Performer tag alphabetically. I have included my current setup in the attached files.

My Performer:Perform W Instruments index is what I'd like sorted by last name.
I can get a partial result using the performer_name_sort: Performer Sort (A-Z) index, which sorts performers by last name, but I lose the instruments.

Is it possible to sort by last name & include the instruments? Any help would be great.
Thanks
   
   
   

INDEX:
INDEX TAGS:
AlbumArtistSort: Album Artist (A-Z), Performer: Performer W/Instruments, performer_name_sort: Performer Sort (A-Z), Date, Location, Genre, #audioformat, #audioquality


ITEM TAGS:
Album, AlbumArtist


TAG OPTIONS:
Date.yearOnly.index.sort, -Date.yearOnly.index.sort, AlbumArtistSort.ignore.sort={THE, The, the}, Album.sortTags={AlbumArtistSort, Artist, Album, Location}

TAG FORMAT:
performer_name_sort.indexFormat={$performer_name_sort^^}, Title.displayFormat={$Title^^ - ^ $location^< ^ >, $#audioquality^(^), $#audioformat^|^|}, Album.displayFormat={$AlbumArtist^^; ^ $album^^, ^ $location^< ^ >, $#audioquality},

If you're looking to sort performer by performer_name_sort have you tried:

Code:

tagValue: performer.value.sort={performer_name_sort}

I have determined the issue and made the correct tweak. Thanks for your info...
