| Summary | 0005165: Sorting in Now Playing resets the Play Order | ||||
| Description | In the Now Playing node/view, whenever the user sorts by any column, the Play order is changed. This is almost certainly not the intended result of a sort. What would be expected is behavior identical to that implemented with Playlists: -Sort by any column --> Tracks are displayed in a different order, but PlayOrder is not changed (i.e. numbers in the Play order column become out of order) -Sort by Play Order column --> tracks are displayed in the order in which they'll play -Right click to Play Order column > Update Play Order / F5 --> Play order is changed. | ||||

Note: this issue was discussed in 0004874 and there's internal debate that needs to be resolved re. whether 'undo' is a good enough means of avoiding the issue described here, and whether it makes sense to have a different implementation for Playlists and Now Playing. |

Discussed again at: http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=55368 Option 1: Sort NP affects play order by default ==> 1-click re-ordering, but causes accidental re-ordering that requires extra clicks (undo) for re-ordering ==> Tracks added subsequent to the sort aren't sorted (which means that feedback is required to indicate that a sort occurs, but such feedback shouldn't persist) ==> It's inconsistent with the Playlist UI Option 2: Sort NP sorts display order only (and not play order) ==> Multiple clicks to sort and re-set play order based on the sort ==> More standard UI that's consistent with the Playlist UI I tend towards option 2 because it's more consistent, and because 'undo' functionality isn't that obvious in MM. |
