Complete Sorting Criteria Hierarchy for songs/episodes/groups with Classic

Ok, I have an idea that I think would help a lot of people. Let us begin a thread that tries to explain, in detail, the sorting filters, in order of priority, that the iPod Classic uses to sort its lists of albums, songs, tv episodes, etc., once you have a list in front of you on the screen. This goes for Cover Flow mode, regular listing, etc.
Here is what I propose. For example, let's start with songs. In iTunes, when you choose to edit the info on a particular song, you can choose which fields to populate. You may or may not enter the year, the track number, the composer, etc. On your iPod, then, if you click on an Album, the songs you see within that album will be listed by +track number, as they were assigned in iTunes+. Track number takes highest precedence in the hierarchy when it comes to sorting songs within an album.
- But, if you go Main Menu->Music->Albums, how are all the albums sorted? Alphabetically by album title? Alphabetically by artist? Is there a way to sort them by year? Would you like the freedom to choose, if Apple provided it?
- How are the compilations sorted into the mix?
- How does applying an "album artist" affect the sorting, as opposed to just applying an "artist?"
- How do songs that are "grouped" together with the same "Grouping" field affect sort lists on the iPod?
- In Cover Flow mode, now with firmware upgrade 1.0.2, what is the sort criteria for albums in Cover Flow? Alphabetically by album title? Alphabetically by artist of the first track on the compilation? Alphabetically by "album artist?" What if no "album artist" has been attributed to a "compilation?"
- What about TV Episodes? Within a particular season, what is the primary determining factor for sorting episodes? Is it alphabetically by title? By release date? Or by episode #? Or by something else?
To some, this may seem tedious or trivial. But there seem to be so many issues flying around right now, and many of them center squarely upon the inability to sync and sort properly. Many people are digitizing a cd library for the first time with the release of the 160 GB iPod Classic, and when you're trying to organize HUNDREDS of songs, albums, compilations, and tv episodes, understanding exactly how the iPod sorts all your precious data is crucial. Knowledge is power, and we want to know.
ANY help you can contribute to any aspect of iPod sorting, no matter how obvious or how technical, would be appreciated by all.

    Go to transaction SE93, enter a transaction code that you want and click on "create". Enter a text and select the "Transaction with Parameters" button. In the Default Values section, enter START_REPORT in the transaction field. Check the "skip initial screen" box. In the Name of Screen field section enter the following lines:

    Hi all,

  • Cons hierarchy restructuring -- Move a group with its subgroups to another

    We need to restructure the consolidation hierarchy as per management decision.
    Need to move a consolidation group along with the sub groups and units under it to another group that is in parallel (at the same level in the hierarchy) with the group that needs to be moved.
    e.g. Cons Group CG10 (with parent unit CU11) is the top group and CG20, CG30 and CG40(with parent units CU21, CU31 and CU41 respectively) are under it and groupos CG41 and CG42 are under CG4.
    We now need to move group CG40 along with its units and sub groups under CG20. The parent unit CU41 is currently 100 % owned by CU11 and will need to be transferred to CU21.
    Please suggest the best way to handle this.
    Do we need to create a new group along with new sub groups under CG20??
    Or it's Ok to create just one new group for CG40 and move the subgroups CG41 and CG42 as they are.
    Please advice ASAP.

    You can't move a cons group within a fiscal year, so you may need to create a CG40b, CG41b, CG42b (i.e., new version of the groups).
    If it's the end of the year, it may be possible but probably not advisable to try and move the groups themselves, but I assume the system would complain.  I've never tried it myself, and don't know how the transfer would work if the old groups were gone.
    I would create CG41b, CG42b.  Set the divestiture date for the units in the CG4x groups, add the units and first consolidation dates to the CG4xb groups, set accounting techniques, etc.
    Create an organization change number with sender CG41 and receiving CG41b.  Ensure you have the prepration for consolidation group change tasks configured in your task hierarchy.  I've always had two tasks, one for 02/12 (before elims), and another for 22 (after elims but before CoI).
    In the additional financial data, create total transfer activity for the units in question, referencing the Org Change number created earlier.
    Execute the consolidation as early as possible during the close, even if it's just preliminary data, and have the business verify the postings seem reasonable. 
    Hope that helps,
    Chris

  • Security Settings for two admin groups  with shared service

    Hi all,
    I use Essbase Administration Services 11.1.2 and Hyperion Shared Services Console 11.1.2.0.73 (Drop 17)
    Access Rights are granted via Groups in Hyperion Shared Service Console.
    We have two admin groups.
    AccessGroup 1: admin rights on some cubes (A) and read rights on all others (B).
    AccessGroup 2: admin rights on (B) and read rights on (A).
    If someone of AccessGroup 1 copies a cube of (A) – Fin_rep for example – wether AccessGroup 1 nor AccessGroup 2 can even see the cube (and i dont even mention admin rights) execpt the one who copied it.
    Settings in Shared Services Console:
    - Both groups have role "Create/delete application" and "AccessManager" (or something like that - german word is "Zugriffsberechtigungsmanager") on Essbase Cluster (our essbase server).
    - AccessGroup 1 has role "ApplicationManager" and "AccessManager" for all cubes which they should administrate (A)
    and role "Read" for all cubes with read only (B)
    - AccessGroup 2 has role "ApplicationManager" and "AccessManager" for all cubes which they should administrate (B)
    and role "Read" for all cubes with read only (A)
    I hope i can get some help with this topic.
    Thank you in advance,
    Best regards

    Security will not copy over when you create new cube from old cube. You have to grant security to required groups using shared services or Maxl.

    Hi
    All
    Will tab work for dynamic data loading in a panel group ?
    scenario .
    Panel group got 4 tabs . each tab contains grid view jsf component. these grid view will populate data once the Index page loads . each tab;s grid view will get data dynamically from backing bean with value objects .
    i am getting data for first tab . which is selected as true . but cannot change focus to other tabs. the functionality of tabchange event listener is not working. i checked the data for other tabs grid view. its coming correctly but cann;t see it in jsf page.
    tabs won;t work . is there any reason which stops working of tab , when we pass data dynamically to all grid views in 4 different tabs at a time.
    thanks in advance.
    Rambhapuri

    Data loading is happening , but cann;t change the tab , because tab item listener is not firing . when user clicks on other tab.

  • Wrong album art displaying for songs on my iPod Classic.

    I am having a problem with my 160GB classic iPod. (6th gen. I believe, it's the first 160GB iPod to be released.)
    It doesn't happen a lot, but I noticed wrong album art displaying for my songs on my iPod. Then when I check in itunes, the album art is correct. Also, I manually manage my music and videos. So when I check the album art from my ipod's hard-drive through itunes, the album art is correct as well.
    I believe the problem happens when the iPod itself tries to find the album art images for the current song being played. It somehow gets jumbled and puts up a random album art image instead of the one it is supposed to.
    One thing i noticed is this. Lets say I shuffle all my songs. Once I get up to a song with wrong album art, I skip pass it lets say about 5-10 songs, then I go back to it. The album art often corrects itself, and the right album art is displayed.
    I looked around the forums here and see that other people are having similar problems with different kinds of iPods. Maybe it's a firmware issue?

    I'm having the exact same issue on my iPod Classic. Haven't used this forum before - do experts provide feedback, or do we just hope that another user can suggest a cure? I haven't reformatted my iPod yet - huge pain, as I also manually manage my music - but will do that if no other solutions present themselves.

  • Streamlining the code for the button group with individual links and rollover imgs

    I am looking for a solution to streamline the code for the array of 20+  buttons located inside the scroll pane.
    I know I can make an array if all the buttons would have a unified code executable change, i.e. they would become larger and brighter.
    My problem is that each button represents an product image in the lights off stage, then of rollover it is a lights on stage so I have to import two images in the on and off stage and play around with the opacity.
    Additional problem is that each button has to ling to a different label.
    My question is: is it possible to unify the code if buttons have that much individuality or I have to make each one of them as in the example below.

    as ned suggested, plan your flow and code into it. here is one example:
    var buttonArray = [someButton, someOtherButton, aDifferentButton];
    for(var i = 0; i < buttonArray.length; i++){
         //get reference to county movieclip
         var mc = buttonArray[i];
         //then add listeners
         mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, overMe);
    function overMe(e:MouseEvent){
         var mc = e.target;
         switch(mc){
              case: someButton:
                       someOtherButton:   doThis();
                                                     break;
              case: aDifferentButton:     doThat();
                                                     break;
              default:                            //do nothing;
                                                     break;
    function doThis(){
         trace("do this")
    function doThat(){

  • How do I sort an artist's songs alphabetically in iTunes store?

    Until this week, I could go into the iTunes store, select an artist, and click on "Name" to sort that artist's songs alphabetically. With the new software upgrade, clicking on "Name" does nothing. How do we now sort an artist's songs alphabetically in the iTunes store?

    lulz, I feel like I'm just picking the ones that have this question and like, pasting my reply Hope this helps!
    Here is a step by step picture tutorial :
    Step 1-Up thar in the top right corner, type in what artist you want (1). Or you can click "Music" at the top black bar, and then when scroll down to whatever genre you want (2).
    1.
    2.
    Step 2-If you did the genre version, on the right sidebar area, there should be a "Top songs", click that, and there, you can sort however you want. It works like normal. Idk why.
    If you searched artist, however, you can't just click "songs" or "see all" at the songs slidey area (really, anything you see at the top right side bar, don't click it, it won't let you sort because it's a search result list. IDK why Apple did this, but it did )
    You have to click the artist's name, under the top part of the right sidebar, where it says "Artists and More" (SEE BELOW)
    Once you click that, the artist page pops up:
    There, click "see all" for songs:
    And then you can sort.
    I hope that helped!
    LOL sorry, I just realized that I changed artists halfway. haha....^.^"

  • I've found no way to sort.  For example, if I type the group "Rush" into the search bar, I get a list of songs recorded by rush and literally thousands of other songs and artists with the word rush in them. There is; however, no way to sort the results.

    In the Search box click on the black Arrow and UNTICK the Search Entire Library.
    Then the Search results in Songs view will be displayed in the main Grid and you can sort them by clicking on the column headers.

  • ADF FACES: how to preserve the sort criteria for an af:table

    How can I preserve the sort criteria on an af:table across page invocations? I've searched all through the forum and I don't see anything on this topic.
    I simply want the sort criteria (from when the user clicks on a column header) to be remembered across multiple uses of the page. I know that the control handles this itself for multiple invocations of the same page (like when you page through the table). But I need to preserve the sort order so I can install it again when someone leaves the page and then returns to it.
    I've tried various attempts using a SortListener to record the sort criteria, but I can't figure out how to reinstall the criteria without generating exceptions from the table control.
    Any pointers on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Larry.

    Ok, I've solved the problems with the odd behavior by always creating a new model when the table data changes and copying the sort criteria into the new model, like this:
            // Construct our own CollectionModel from this result set
            if(_model == null) {
                // Construct the initial data model and set the starting sort criteria
                ListDataModel m = new ListDataModel(results);
                _model = new SortableModel(m);
                // Set the sort criteria to last name
                ArrayList criteria = new ArrayList();
                criteria.add(new SortCriterion("lastName", true));
                _model.setSortCriteria(criteria);
            } else {
                // Construct a new model so the table "sees" the change
                ListDataModel m = new ListDataModel(results);
                SortableModel sm = new SortableModel(m);
                sm.setSortCriteria(_model.getSortCriteria());
                _model = sm;
            }But, I end up with one final thing that doesn't work. In the "then" clause above, I try to set the initial sort criteria for the table - it has no effect. When the table is rendered, it is not sorted in any way.
    How can I specify an initial sort order for the table? Why is it ignoring the sort criteria on the model?
    Thanks.

  • How do we get complete hierarchy for a WBS element??

    Hi All,
    Is there any FM to get complete hierarchy for a WBS element??
    Or any other method that would achieve this requirement ??
    Eg:
    C.00103.1
    C.00103.1.1
    C.00103.1.2.3
    C.00103.2
    C.00103.2.1 etc
    If i give C.00103.1, all the WBS elements in the hierarchy should be displayed.
    Any pointers are of  great help.

    Maintain : BAPI: Project maintenance [ BAPI_PROJECT_MAINTAIN ]
    SaveReplica : Replicate work breakdown structure (ALE) [ BAPI_PROJECT_SAVEREPLICA ]
    The WBS hierarchy object type defines the hierarchy of the WBSelements. A project definition always has exactly one hierarchy. If theposition of a WBS element changes, the whole hierarchy has to berebuilt. Therefore, the WBS hierarchy object type has only one command:
    Create. Every WBS element receives exactly one entry in the table parameter IWbsHierarchieTable with which it defines its position.
    Command: Create
    Use this command to create or change a WBS element hierarchy for aproject definition. Enter the WBS hierarchy object type and the Create
    command in the table of the IMethodProject parameter. The commandrefers to all entries in the table of the IWbsHierarchieTable parameterthat contains the data for the data for the hierarchy. Each entry inthe IWbsHierarchieTable refers to a WBS element that describes its position relative to the other WBS elements.
    Example
    - Positioning WBS elements TRAINING , TRAINING.1 and TRAINING.2 . (WBS elements TRAINING.1 and TRAINING.2 are subordinate toWBS element TRAINING. WBS element TRAINING1 is positioned on the left of TRAINING.2.)
