Sort Artist by last name?

Post by elgibby »

I know there must be a way to sort artists by last name but I can't figure it out.

I see there was a fix for it a couple of years ago, but ... ??

thx

Hold down the Option key and re-sort the artist column to flip the sort from first name to last name.

Thanks, but I tried that and didn't work.

Sometimes the column flips ascending/descending; sometimes nothing happens at all. (with option held down)

Option should do the trick. If you don't mind could you please send me your CDpedia database. You will find the database in your data folder located in your home folder at ~/Library/Application Support/CDpedia/Database.cdpd. Under Yosemite you must use the Finder "Go" menu and hold down the option key and select the "Library" option. Once there navigate to Application Support/CDpedia and select Database.cdpd and use the "Compress" command under the main "File" menu. This will create a .zip version that you can then attach to an email message. This way we can test with the exact same data.
