Sort order problems

Why when i use the sort artist field on an artist that has featuring artist it sorts in the column browser with the featured artist, for example
Artist : Audio Bullys Ft. Nancy Sinatra
Album Artist : Audio Bullys
Track : Shot You Down
Sort Artist : Audio Bullys
Sort Album Artist : Audio Bullys
If I'm Sorting using those parameters, should it not show just Audio Bully's in my Column Browser. I have many artists with featuring artists, some of them sort how I want them to with just the main artist in the column browser, some don't.....any ideas on this?????
Cheers Nick

I'm experiencing the same issue, have you found a solution to this?

Artist sort order problem

Hi.
I have music sync'd via iTunes Match from my laptop to my iPad and to my iPhone. The names and order appear correct on both the laptop and on the iPad but on the iPhone several artists are either shown in all lower case or the last name will be used by the sort, rather than the first.
I've reset the artist, album artist and sort artist tags to different names (and they show up correctly then on the iPhone) and then set them back, but the problem remains.
I'm thinking that the iPhone has a corrupt file somewhere - but how can I reset that without losing everything on the phone?
A factory reset and restore from iCloud results in the same problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks guys.

I also have an Artist sort order problem. While the circumstances are quite different from yours, I wonder if it's due to a similar corruption problem. I don't use iTunes Match. I found Kenny G listed under letter T.

Month Sort Order Problem in Time Dimension(Essbase with Obiee)?

Hi All,
I am facing issue with month order in answers.
First I created BSO cube using Essbase Studio. When i exposed cube in answers, months were sorted in alphabetical order. So i used RANK function with evaluate to arrange month members in proper order. But if i use RANK function it pulls all missing records and it is effecting performance.
Then i created Time dimension(dimension loading) in essbase from FLAT file,initially it was coming in proper order. But after some time again it sorted in alphabetical order!!!
I have seen in internate few people saying they didn't face this problem. I
Please advice...
Essbase: 11.1.1.3
OBIEE: 10.1.3.4.1

Hi user10300020,
That's a fairly common problem with months that happens regardless of database source.
In the logical layer of OBIEE you can specify the sort order on the month name column. Just double click on the month name column and look for the option to set sort order based on a different column. I typically sort the month name based on the month number.
Give that a shot and tell me if it works.

"Date Added" sort order problem when importing folders

I sort by "Date Added" to view my iTunes library, and use the middle "view" button to view tracks grouped as albums with artwork. This works mighty well except when I'm importing folders containing the files in an album, such as those I get from eMusic--the tracks are displayed out of order when I do this. The only solution I've found so far is to import one track at a time. Any ideas how I can get those tracks in there in the right order when importing a folder? Any scripts hanging around that will do it right? Thanks to all....

What sort order do you have selecting in the sort drop-down? There is no "correct" sort order. You can sort on any metadata you can show in the Browser. The sort drop-down is located in the top border of the Browser, near the left corner. Every container in Aperture retains the sort order it last had. When you manually move an Image in the Browser, the sort order is changed to "Manual".

ATV 4.4.2 photo sort order problem

I have just updated my Apple TV (I believe it is now 4.4.2)
When I view my photo albums, the sort order is not the same as that in my iPhoto.
It was before the update.
I resorted the albums again in iPhoto, they look just right on my MBP. They also look exactly the way I wanted it on my iPad2 and my iPod. But on Apple TV, it's all wrong again.
I have invited friends over this weekend for a presentation that I want to show them slides on the Apple TV. I am dead meat now. Please advise.
Thank you in advance.
Eddie

I did some additional testing using my Apple TV (1st generation) and my Windows 7 computer, and this is what I found.
(This likely applies to iPad/iPod/iPhone too).
Apple TV displays photos in order of their "Date Created" file attribute.
If the "Date Created" file attribute of all photos in an album is identical, then Apple TV displays the photos in alphabetical order.
This I what I do to make sure that Apple TV displays photos in the order I want them to be in:
First, I arrange photos in the order I want them to be in. For this, I use Google Picasa, but one could also use FastStone Image Viewer, or any similar tool.
Then, I bulk rename all the photos, so that their file names are in alphabetical order. I do this from within Picasa, but there are many other freeware file rename tools one could use for this.
Next, I bulk change the "Date Created" file attribute of the photo files, so that they all have an identical one. For this, I use BatchTouch, freeware available for Windows and Mac.
Finally, I open iTunes, and sync the photos to my Apple TV.
Note: if they photos were already synced to your Apple TV before you perform the steps above, you may need to this beforehand:
Open iTunes on your PC, and make sure that the correct photo folder is selected for syncing to your device.
Using Windows Explorer, navigate to this folder.
Within it, locate a subfolder called “iPod Photo Cache” ("iPad Photo Cache for iPad syncing) and delete it.

Sort Order problem in a cursor

Hi,
I have a cursor where the sort order needs to be specified dynamic. I have declared variables (say x and y) which contains the numbers. When I use them in the order by clause, though no compilation error, but the sorting does not occur.
Eg. Cursor C1 is
Select col1,col2
from tab1
where ...
ORDER BY x (the value of x is 2).
Your help is greatly appreciated. (This cursor is in Oracle Forms)
Thanks

Request/Service Offering Sort Order Problems

I am having a difficult time finding a way to sort the results of a MP Enumeration List prompt type. The sort order on the portal user prompt is random even though I have arranged them in teh Service Manager console list to be alphabetical. This
does not apply to the prompt the end user sees in the portal. It is not alphabetical. Anyone have any ideas?
The MP Enumeration prompt is mapped to the Service Request Source list. Version is 2012 R2 with update rollup 2 installed on all SCSM servers.

Sort order problem

I have a minor, albeit annoying, problem that I can't seem to solve. I have one recently taken photo in my Aperture library which for whatever reason seems to have a preview that is dated as the oldest photo in my library. It displays in the correct order in all albums within Aperture, but in all other areas where the preview appears (Photo Browser in Mail, iLife, iPhone, Apple TV) it always shows up as the first or oldest item in any album in which it appears. The creation date on it is correct, I've tried rebuilding by database, regenerating Previews, deleting and reimporting the original RAW file etc...
Is there a way to rebuild the database of the Image Browser within OSX? That's the next thing I'd like to try. Any suggestions?

Hi Eric,
My understanding of previews and master files is a bit patchy, but I thought I'd ask: Is the preview showing up in other apps as newest because it's the files you've made changes to last of all? If you import new files and make changes to them, does this change the order in which your problem file appears? I'm just thinking that maybe other apps are sorting previews by the Last Modified date, and if you're making changes to this file (Levels, saturation, cropping etc), then the preview will quite correctly show as the newest.

IPhoto sort order problem

After install of 4.2 IPhoto only syncs in date order on Ipad. Will not sort in alphabetic order despite trying numerous times.

I found a solution for the events remaining in the same order as in iphoto 9.1.1. After leaving the events in the order you want in iPhoto, edited the date and time information (exif file) of the first picture of each event. For example, I have ordered several events manually in iPhoto. I got in first and put the first photo of the first event to date 01/01/1958 12:00:00 by Pictures menu> Adjust Date and Time. In the second event to repeat the same process, and changed the date for the first photo to 01/01/1959 12:00:00. And so adding one year to each event to the last. After this change, re-syncronize all events with iphone4 and events were in the same order that had set in iphoto 9.1.1. This is because the iphone4 with IOS 4.2.1 uses the information contained in the EXIF photo files and sort by this information. I hope helped with this tip, which worked for me. When I add a new event, I have to sync your entire library again.

IPhone 4S artist sort order problem

Running iTunes 10.5 and iOS5 on iPhone 4S and having this problem where when i go to Music and then the Artists tab, the artists are not listed under the proper letter. So like when I click on the "V" on the side where all the letters are, it goes to V, but all the bands listed under that start with S. then when I get down to "Z" all the bands start with T, and that it. So I cant get to any of the artists that start with letters past T. The songs are on the iPhone, when I search for them they show up and I can play them and they are still on their proper playlists. But still pretty annoying for when i just want to hear a specific artist. Any ideas?

"I do have 5.0.1 - new iPhone 4 S and still have this problem. Artists are mixed up and not in a correct order. There must be a bug not fixed."

Sort Order problem in Oracle 11g

Hi,
While executing the below query in 10g and 11g, I got different results.
SELECT loan.Ins_Id,
ARev.revision,
ADet.Acc_Id,
loan.Loan_Id
FROM
Account_Det ADet
join Acc_REV ARev
on ADet.Acc_Id = ARev.Acc_Id
join LoanAcc loan
on loan.Loan_Id = ARev.Loan_Id
join Interest_Det Ins
on Ins.Ins_Id = loan.Ins_Id
where Ins.Ins_Id in ('691','707')
and ARev.revision=
(select max(revision) from Acc_REV where Loan_Id =
(select max(Loan_Id) from LoanAcc where Ins_Id =Ins.Ins_Id
) AND ADet.Acc_Id = '312'
ORDER BY TO_NUMBER(ARev.revision) ASC;
Result in Oracle 11g
INS_ID  REVISION  Acc_ID   Loan_Id
707      2      312    238
691      1      312    234
Result in Oracle 10g

691      1      312    234
707      2      312    238
The order in both the cases were different.The order in 11g was not in ascending order.Though the data in both the databases
is same. Could anyone please tell me why is this happening?. Is there any diffeence in the architecure of ORDER BY (sort) in
10g and 11g. If I modify the above query by avoiding the subquery I get the correct result(i.e in ascending order).
SELECT loan.Ins_Id,
ADet.Acc_Id,
loan.Loan_Id

Account_Det ADet
join Acc_REV ARev
on ADet.Acc_Id = ARev.Acc_Id

ORDER BY TO_NUMBER(ARev.revision) ASC;
Edited by: KZON on Apr 7, 2011 4:46 AM

Hi all,
I have modified the query by giving To_Number(ARev.revision) before sub query. Now Oracle 11g returns results in ascending order. But 10g returns results in ascending order with out using To_Number()
NOte:- Type of ARev.revision is VARCHAR
SELECT loan.Ins_Id,
ARev.revision,
ADet.Acc_Id,
loan.Loan_Id
FROM
Account_Det ADet
join Acc_REV ARev
on ADet.Acc_Id = ARev.Acc_Id
join LoanAcc loan
on loan.Loan_Id = ARev.Loan_Id
join Interest_Det Ins
on Ins.Ins_Id = loan.Ins_Id
where Ins.Ins_Id in ('691','707')
and To_Number(ARev.revision)=
(select max(revision) from Acc_REV where Loan_Id =
(select max(Loan_Id) from LoanAcc where Ins_Id =Ins.Ins_Id
) AND ADet.Acc_Id = '312'
ORDER BY TO_NUMBER(ARev.revision) ASC;
Result
INS_ID  REVISION  Acc_ID   Loan_Id
691      1      312    234
707      2      312    238
Is there any difference in ORDER BY clause in Oracle11g and 10g ?

Itunes sort order different in playlist

I'm having a weird sort order problem... in one playlist - I have the column "album" sorted. The songs names (under "name") for one album sort just fine - the names are "ep 1", "ep 2", "ep 3", etc. and appear in that order.
However, if I click that album column to sort by "album by artist" - the song order changes. now they are seemingly random (although I imagine there has to be a reason behind the order).
The sort order of those songs is even different *in another playlist* - ie, they are not even in the same "random" order they show in when I sort them by "album by artist" in the other playlist above. They're in a "different random" order.
Any ideas?
Message was edited by: AppleJason

That's helpful for my issues with iPhone, which are yet another variation on what I'm talking about - but in going through the article, I couldn't find anything that pointed to why my "name" column is not sorting properly for the same artist album.
Selecting all the songs in that album, get info --> shows the artist, album artist and album names (both album artist and artist are exactly the same) - so my point is there are not some kind hidden character problem - or they wouldn't match and therefore the fields would be blank.
If the "album by artist" is the primary sort, what does itunes use for the secondary column to sort? This should help me answer the problem.... it sure doesn't look like "name" column is used as 2nd... because it's not sorted!

Yahoo mail sort order in inbox

Hi all,
My problem initially started with the push function for yahoo mail not working. The additional problem that I now have is that the emails in my inbox as well as sent items are not appearing in the right sort order (most recent to oldest). The inbox and the sent box both are showing the last 50 emails first.
Any suggestions.
Thanks

Sorry for the double-post here, but after reading the fix suggested at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3066818&#3066818 more carefully, my problem is resolved.
As it turns out, you have to choose the group in Address Book, then select all the names, then drag all the selected names to the Pages doc for the mail merge to sort in alpha order.
Part of the problem I was experiencing has to do with the click-and-drag lag in Address Book. If you select all the entries, then click-and-drag quickly toward Pages, the list will deselect all but the first entry.
Instead, you have to click-and-hold-and-drag-very-slowly out of the Address Book window. I'm not sure why, but when I attempted (and repeated) the process, that's what I found.
I hope my error helps another.
I'm having a problem similar to other Pages + Address
Book users. When I select an Address Book group
(about 140 addresses) to merge into Pages, they come
up in a seemingly random order.
In Address Book, the contacts are listed by Surname
(Last Name). In the Pages document, I am only
inserting the First Name field, but I would expect
them to merge in alpha order, as they are in Address
Book.
Alas, that is not the case.
The fix suggested at
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=306
6818&#3066818 did not solve my problem. I have tried
dragging and dropping the group into the Pages master
document -- it simply comes up with a different,
random sort order.
Has anyone else faced the sort order problem from
Address Book into Pages successfully? Any help would
be welcome.

How do I get Iphoto to preserve the sort order when I transfer an album?

Here's my problem. I carefully sorted my album of 230 photos manually. Each photo was then numbered from 1 to 230. Then I used IPhoto Library Manager to transfer this album someplace else -- to my desktop, to a thumb drive, to Dropbox--- In every case, when I did that, the photos themselves transfered just fine, but the sort order I had so carefully constructed has fallen apart and cannot by retrieved. Even when I close and then reopen an Album I have transferred to my Desktop, it loses its sort order. This is driving my crazy because I need to transfer this album so that it preserves the slideshow I have designed for it. A slideshow, of course, demands preserving the order of the slides.
In short, how can I preserve the sort order of an album when I transfer it out of one library to another?

If you're transferring to another library, why are you exporting to the Finder (which is what Desktop, thumbdrive and DropBox are). This doesn’t understand manual sorting from iPhoto.
Here's one (of several) way(s) to do what you want:
Make an Album of the photos, then drag the pics into your preferred order.
Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
Sort on Filename in the FInder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.
