Making Albums display by Artist

[Michael Kay]

Hello,

I am trying to change the default album display, presently listing alphabetically by Album name. I want it to display alphabetically by Artist instead. I have changed the Album.sortTags to {Artist, Album} as suggested in the List Order Sort section of the User Guide. Despite restarting everything (NAS, Minimserver, Minimwatch on my iMac, Naim n-Stream on my iPad, my hardware, my iPad) it steadfastly refuses to display what I want it to, continuing to sort by Album title.

Everything has the latest software installed. Caches have been repeatedly deleted and Minimserver has been rescanned enough times to have effected this change.

Can anyone suggest how to resolve this issue please?

This is a known issue with n-Stream. It ignores the sort order sent by MinimServer and resorts the list alphabetically.

Thanks for the reply Simon. I assume there is no work round then.

You would need to ask Naim about that. It is worth doing this, as they might fix n-Stream if enough people complain.

Thanks again Simon - I will contact them. If you don't ask, you don't get!
