By default all lists sorted alphabetically, why? Different content require different type of sorting. No one sorting photographs by size, this makes no sense. Everyone wants their photos be in order they was taken, so best way is sorting them is by date taken. Sorting should be helpfull, not broken and confusing.
1) In «Album» list, when selected sorting by artist, albums from the same artist then sorted alphabetically. This is really confusing if artist has 10+ albums. Albums from the same artist should always be sorted by year.
How it now:
Alphabetically -> Alphabetically
Artist A - A album (2004)
Artist A - B album (1996)
Artist B - A album (2006)
Artist B - B album (1993)
Artist B - C album (1999)
How it should be:
Alphabetically -> Year
Artist A - B album (1996)
Artist A - A album (2004)
Artist B - B album (1993)
Artist B - C album (1999)
Artist B - A album (2006)
2) Sorting of «All Songs» and «All Artist Songs». Even if this is big lists of songs, it doesn't mean it should be a mess, as it is now. This lists should have grouping of tracks by album, this ways tracks will always will be in order and only albums are sorted, as user selected — by artist or year. (If it's «All Songs» list and selected sorting by artist, then they are should be secondly sorted by year, as i complained hereinabove.)
How it now:
By Year (No grouping)
A album - A [Track #3] (1967)
A album - B [Track #1] (1967)
A album - C [Track #4] (1967)
A album - D [Track #2] (1967)
B album - A [Track #2] (1973)
B album - A [Track #1] (1973)
B album - B [Track #3] (1973)
How it should be:
By Year (Grouping)
A album - B [Track #1] (1967)
A album - D [Track #2] (1967)
A album - A [Track #3] (1967)
A album - C [Track #4] (1967)
B album - A [Track #1] (1973)
B album - A [Track #2] (1973)
B album - B [Track #3] (1973)
