SlimServer is probably stripping the character when creating its sort field for the artist. You can tag these files with an ARTISTSORT field of any string you like. Only used for sorting, these ARTISTSORT values are never displayed. Prepend a few z's to the artist name. For example: ARTIST=Johnny Cash ARTISTSORT=zzzzJohnny Cash ARTIST=Merle Hagard ARTISTSORT=zzzzMerle Hagard Or, if you prefer last name first sorting: ARTIST=Johnny Cash ARTISTSORT=zzzzCash Johnny ARTIST=Merle Hagard ARTISTSORT=zzzzHagard Merle -- JJZolx Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------ JJZolx's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=40777 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
