Clarify/fix inconsistent play button functionality / (chronological) sorting kludge
Describe the bug
To Reproduce
If I play a playlist (i.e. Playlists > select playlist > view playlist) then the play button correctly plays the first/top track in the list; respecting column sort
Sort by Year (oldest, default playlist order):
Sort by Year (newest):
However, if I play an artist's albums (i.e. Artists > select artist > view albums) the play button seems to incorrectly always play the newest album's first track; disrespecting the list's column sort
Sort by Tracks:
Sort by Duration:
Sort by Year:
Expected behavior
A massaged tracklist (e.g. filtered/sorted) should always be respected when using the play button. This is particularly important because it facilitates playback of all albums - currently playback stops after each album ends, which also seems like a bug 🤷..?
Desktop (please complete the following information):
- OS: macOS
- Version: 13.1
Additional context
Magnificent effort with this player (I have used many) 👍👍 - insane you're working on a replacement already!?
Hope you agree and can get this fixed ASAP as I think it will hugely enhance UX 🤞
Sincerely
PS My root use case here is playing songs grouped by artist albums then by year (i.e. chronologically). Surprisingly, this is something many players don't easily offer. Currently I seem to have to create a playlist to achieve this and it's not even possible in the Favourites view as there are zero filter/sort options 😕..?
