Summary0015806: Multi-value doesn't show properly with in-line editing and not handled correctly in properties
Description1) In MM4 you can enter the separator in any fashion you see fit and it will be displayed correctly (eg. xxxx; xxxx).

In MM5 if on in-line editing if you enter Artist as:
yyyy ; xxxx
yyyy ;xxxx
yyyy;xxxx
it will leave it like that instead of changing it to
yyyy; xxxx

Properties window seems unaffected.

2) Also when changing from yyyy; xxxx to xxxx; yyyy; will leave it as xxxx; yyyy; instead of removing the ; after yyyy.

Test Note, this behavior is same for all multi value enabled fields.

This is especially noted on Sync when user enable Sync only first Artist/Genre/...

3. It could be also useful to make it possible that user Sort such metadata with context menu and not manually edit fields like Lowlander pointed in description. eg. Sort A..Z and Z..A

3) Can you let me know how to sort multi values alphabetically?

eg. Artist: Alan Walker; Noah Cyrus; Digital Farm Animals

3) I don't get it? Why they should be sorted alphabetically?
This would be unexpected to me, example:
"ZZ Top; featured Lambda" would be auto-changed to "featured Lambda; ZZ Top" and couldn't get back??

I guess that it works like in MM4 now, and no change is required?

Re 3) Example tags
Artist: "LSD; Sia; Diplo; Labrinth" Title: "Heaven Can Wait"
Artist: "Labrinth; LSD; Sia; Diplo" Title: "No New Friends"
Artist: "Sia; Diplo; Labrinth; LSD" Title: "Audio"
Artist: "Diplo; LSD; Sia; Labrinth" Title: "Genius"

a) If you set Sync Only first artist then in case of these songs it will be wrongly synced and have bad artist

b) Also if you Sort Track list by artist then tracks would be separated

c) On multi track edit then Artist would not be recognized as same and field would be empty which is wrong

d) Sorting would also increase Search Speed due the Full Text Search indexing optimization

NOTE: Only exception That I would consider as downside is case where User would want keep Main/first artist (eg. Artist whose album track was released) is preferred by user to be first and others can be sorted alphabetically due the fact that they are just featured artists

Tagging this as resolved since the original bug is fixed and can be closed once tested.

As far as the new feature described in 3), I agree that there could be a need to more easily 'equalize' multi-attribute entries of multiple tracks. But I also agree with Ludek and Peke's assertion that in most cases the Artist that should be the first one is the 'main' artist, rather than the artist that is first alphabetically. To facilitate making such changes, we could improve multi-track editing to allow the user to choose the metadata of one of the selected tracks. But this is a new feature/enhancement that should be tracked separately.
