The first non-null value appears to be used - although where you have (say) two tracks, one with Artistsortorder="Phil Leigh" and one with "Leigh, Phil", knowing which one will be picked up first is a problem... However... Is this really a bug? I'm not sure it is. >From a logical data modelling perspective, Artistsortorder is an attribute of the "Artist" entity. In a normalised design you would populate the distinct set of Artists first, but that is not how the scanner works, it derives the universe of Artists from their relationship with their tracks. The artistsortorder (and their name!) are denormalised (ie they repeat unnecessarily for each track). However. this does work effectively for collections with many single-track Artists... Such designs are inherently constrained by that they only truly work properly if the data is completely consistent. Where anomolies occur (as in my example above) the only logical choices are: 1) abort (not very helpful!) 2) Choose the first value encountered 3) Choose the last value encountered -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
