in the database, when i go to to sort by album or year, or genre, it really doesnt sort it alphabetically at all, but rather, in the order it found it in the database... is there a way to fix this?

im also using a custom sorting for tree (one i found on this forum, for sorting artists with 'The ' while ignoring the word), so would that have any conflicts with a fix that makes the albums and year and genre sort alphabetically?

The custom sort string might very well be what's causing your problem, and it would definitely help to know what it is. Can you post it so we can dissect it?

CODE

$if($stricmp($left(%artist%,4),'the '),$substr(%artist%,5,$len(%artist%))' (The)',%artist%)|[%album%]|[[%disc%.][$num(%tracknumber%,2).] ]$if2(%title%,%_filename_ext%)

is the string.... im afraid im not that experienced with code to understand what's going on in there...
thanks!
