I think I'd prefer to change sorting through a context menu.
The question is just if it should be set:
- Per user (like the web interface)
- Per player (like the SqueezePlay implementation)
- Per library (global setting for SBS installation)
- Per interface (like it's currently handled with separate setting for
SqueezePlay and web)
I'm not sure what's most logical, I just know that I rarely change the
sorting on SqueezePlay because it's too hard to access and I've
sometimes missed the possibility to set it in the IP3K interface.
In the web interface I sometimes change the setting but the only
settings that's useful in a large library IMHO is "Artist, Year, Album"
and "Artist, Album", the reason is that these are the only settings that
makes the alpha bar select the first letter of the artist name. I
usually know the artist name and I usually don't know the exact album
name, so the alpha bar gets pretty useless if it's sorted by "Album"
and it gets even more useless if you sort by one of the other options
that just gives a "1 2 3... 8" alpha bar.
