Played Items browser pane should be sortable

English Feature Requests

It would be useful to be able to sort the Played Items list by clicking the headings (alternate clicks sorting ascending/descending).

a) I prefer seeing the list ‘most recent first,’ and
b) sorting by Title makes it easier to find them in the list if you can’t remember how long ago they were played (!).

Thanks in advance.

Regarding this (reasonable) request, I need a little advice.

As you may have noticed, items manually deleted from the playlists also go into the Played Items list. Which is a little confusing, because they mix up with the actual log. On the other hand, this behavior is quite handy when you accidently delete an item, because you can quickly locate and re-add it.

How to handle this problem? I see the following options:

  1. Keep the current behavior.
  2. Keep the current behavior, but make it configurable whether to add deleted items to the list or not.
  3. Establish an additional “Trash” list/browser for deleted items.
  4. Do not add deleted items to any list at all.

What do you think?

Sorting is implemented now and will be available in v.42.

How to handle this problem?

My vote would be to keep the current behaviour, but ideally to have the Time column read DELETED (or something like that) instead of being blank.

That said, I don’t know whether putting text in the Time column would screw up the nice new sorting feature that I asked for!

When you manually delete an item, the “Time” column is empty. You can easily tell a deleted item from a played one. When you sort the list, descending by time, the deleted items will be at the bottom of the list.

In order to show an explicit “deleted” label, I would have to establish an internal “deleted” flag in the item data.
