Why doesn't sort by album artist sort by album artist?
I so far haven't found a straight answer for this, so I figured I'd just ask for myself.
I have more music than my phone can hold. So it can be hard to navigate a phone thats literally just music and vital systems, so I like using the horizontal view in the music player, where the album art is displayed in the grid. The only problem is that everything is just scattered about, seemingly sorted alphebetically. Before IOS7 it was sorted by artist, and it was far easier to navigate through my library, but now the option labelled as "Group By Album Artist" does absolutely nothing. I've changed that setting a million times, and yet still nothing changed.
Is my phone just stupid? (unlikely, since my last phone had the same issue) I'm incredibly meticulous about the song info, so I know that all of the proper information is included. (seemingly, at least.)
Is there something I'm missing? Or maybe some specific thing I can do to achieve the same effect?
I currently have an Iphone 5s, and I previously used a 4. Both have experienced the same problem.
(I also recently began to edit the sorting fields in itunes, and still nothing changed.)

It groups them by Album Artist, instead of Artist.
Keep in mind that for most albums the Artist & Album Artist are the same so likely you won't see much of a difference. Most albums won't even have the Album Artist filled in.
When horizontal, they are sorted by Album name.

I used Match, and now there are artists missing when I search by artist, yet they are in my library when I search by song. If they are in many song list, why aren't they in my artist list? Also I can't sort my songs list by artist on iPhone, so their music is basically lost in space....help
It's not clear from your post, but you do realise
that if you import a cd as a compilation, it will not
appear under artists? This is done to save the iPod
being cluttered up with single artists entries who
might have only one song listed.
I wasn't aware of that. It's true that I haven't been using the "compilation" tag for a long time. I've only started using it with iTunes 7 as otherwise with Coverflow I would have one album cover for each artist in a compilation. Before that my compilations weren't tagged as such as that is quite probably why each artist from compilations showed up when browsing by artists.

ITunes doesn't sort albums properly.
So like my iTunes doesn't sort my albums properly. I have the track numbers listed in Get Info, but when I click Sort by Album, it sorts the albums, then it sorts the songs inside the albums by the artist.
Any help appreciated-
I want the albums sorted by the track number in the get infoI noticed this problem too - but only on albums with "Album artist" info.
Once I removed that, everything sorted correctly by track number.
However, I'd love to find a way to actually make it sort correctly. -

ITunes sometimes doesn't sort my mp3 folder
hey everyone - i triesd searching the forum for an answer to this but unfortunately didn't seem to find anything. i might be searching with the wrong keywords. but basically my question is this:
ihave iTunes set up so that it sorts my mp3 folder. i think this is pretty straight forward. i move all my songs and downloads (mainly from beatport.com) into my mp3 folder and then import them to iTunes (usually by dragging into iTunes) most of the time iTunes takes the raw file that has some kind of weird id3 tag like 0192deep_space_carl_craigremix and sorts it appropriately into a folder with Artist, Title, Album, etc... that way when i go to look for it, its under the artist, not just a single file like the one above
but SOMETIMES it doesn't do this. sometimes the file stays with that funky tag. which means when i go to search for it it's NOT under the artist's name. mainly th issue i run into is when using something like Ableton, i can't search my folder by artists, i have to search this mess of random songs starting with numbers like 839093_Deep... etc...
anyone have any idea why iTunes doesn't sort these song files? it seems pretty random, but it WILL do it as one big chunk. meaning if i buy 10 songs from Beatport, it either sorts ALL 10 appropriately, or it DOESN'T sort all 10... never anything in between
any insight would be fantastic!!!unfortunately thats the problem. usually either iTunes manages the folders immediately OR - all i have to do is manually change the iTunes tags and it will automatically reconfigure the folder and place these songs that have the iD3 tags of 8948204_xxxxxx into the right format. So for example if the song is mark alexandre - itunes help. the file with 43289294ituneshelp will automatically be put into a folder for Mark Alexandre...
it just hasn't been doing it lately.... -
HT4236 why is itunes sorting my photos different than iphoto
why is itunes sorting my photos diferently than what i have in iphot?
Hi go the first page of the Remote, the one which shows your shared libraries.
Click Settings, and then Sort by Artist tab,
Hope that helps! -
why doesn't the following code go all the way down? (It is a selection sort)
public void printNew(int numbers[])
// Pre-Condition the array is already initialized
int i, j; // counters
int small, swapIndex = 0, temp;
for (i = 0; i < numbers.length-1; i++)
small = numbers;
for (j = (i+1); j < numbers.length-1; j++)
if (numbers[j] < small)
small = numbers[j];
swapIndex = j;
temp = numbers[i];
numbers[i] = numbers[swapIndex];
numbers[swapIndex] = temp;
// print out the sorted numbers:
for (i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++)
System.out.println(numbers[i]);
the unsorted array is:
2
5
8
12
34
1
3
23
24
6
The "sorted" array says
1
2
3
5
8
34
24
12
23
6
// Why doesn't the array finish sorting?
Thank YouAlternatively, you could move the declaration of swapIndex
to inside the inner for-loop, and initialize it to i. Then you
wouldn't need to test swapIndex for -1.
int small, temp;
for (i = 0; i < numbers.length; i++) {
int swapIndex = i; // <---- Move it here
small = numbers;
You can
for example set swapIndex to -1 before the innermost
for-loop and then swap only if swapIndex isn't -1
anymore after the loop. -
Webpart Connection Doesn't Sort After Edit
Hello,
I have two SP task lists, 1st list for project details and 2nd list for project costs (1:Many). When viewing a single item from the project details task list in the Default Display Form, the project costs task list is
also displayed as a webpart. The project costs webpart is connected to the project details item, and filters only project costs that have the same "Project Name". This works great, but my problem is the project costs list I've turned on inline editing.
In the same Default Display From, when the user clicks to edit a line item in the project costs list, edits the item, and then clicks save, the page reloads, and all project costs are displayed instead of the filtered project costs list. The changes do not
save, and the user has to scroll down the list to find the project cost line item still in edit mode. If the edits are repeated and save is once again clicked on the project costs list, the project cost line item is updated, and the project costs list is filtered
correctly as intended.
Can anyone help me correct or understand the issue: When making edits to a task list item using inline editing on a connected and filtered webpart, the list doesn't save edits to the webpart list and maintain its connected filter? Thank you for any guidance
you can provide.Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that webpart connection doesn't sort after you edit the related list.
Per my knowledge, it will send the value to connected web part when page loads in the display form.
If you edit the item inlien, it will not refresh the page, so it cannot send the value again.
I recommend that you can use the “Insert Related List” option in the display form.
For more information, you can refer to:
SharePoint 2010 - Insert Related Lists

Hi,
I created sorting rules for two columns, document number and date. Each different date of a certain document constitutes a line in ALV. I used the following code to set the rules. However, the ALV doesn't sort as expected.
LOOP AT LT_FIELDS INTO LS_FIELDS.
CASE LS_FIELDS-FIELDNAME.
WHEN 'AUFNR'.
LO_SORT_RULE ?= LS_FIELDS-R_FIELD->IF_SALV_WD_SORT~CREATE_SORT_RULE( SORT_POSITION = 1 ).
LS_FIELDS-R_FIELD->IF_SALV_WD_SORT~SET_GROUPING_ALLOWED( ).
WHEN 'ISSUE_DATE'.
LO_SORT_RULE ?= LS_FIELDS-R_FIELD->IF_SALV_WD_SORT~CREATE_SORT_RULE( SORT_ORDER = IF_SALV_WD_C_SORT=>SORT_ORDER_DESCENDING
SORT_POSITION = 2 ).
LS_FIELDS-R_FIELD->IF_SALV_WD_SORT~SET_GROUPING_ALLOWED( ABAP_FALSE ).
WHEN OTHERS.
ENDCASE.
ENDLOOP.
The result is
Header 1
Header 2
001
20140101
003
20140103
006
20140104
002
004
005
But I expect the ALV to be sorted as follows
Header 1
Header 2
001
20140101
002
003
20140103
004
005
006
20140104Hi ts,
The above code used for sorting should work as you expected.But I suspect that the sort logic of field 'AUFNR' is not executing / not reaching. Check the column name of HEADER1 column. It might be something else.
To make sure: check in debugging that the logic of AUFNR field gets reached.
Hope this helps you.

Why are some sort order texts goasted rather then solid black?
To all and anyone
The subject says it all...
Why are some sort order texts ghosted rather then solid black?
Thanks!
FredThe ghosted/grayed values correspond with auto sorting. Auto sorting drops the leading articles, a/an/the, and variations in other languages, so that for example, The Beatles sorts as Beatles under B unless you explicitly override the auto sort by putting The Beatles in the sort value so that it sorts under T.

I'm trying to recover a file and the app company said to restore from an earlier backup. My iPhone only shows the most recent backup. I've been searching the net for answers - I found the back up file and date sorted them (over 6mb of files). How can I get my iPhone to restore from an earlier backup?
I am on Windows Vista so I don't have Time Machine.
I have backed up the backup folder so if I mess it up, I have it in a separate place.
Can I just delete all the files with todays date in that backup folder and have it forced to the next oldest date?
Why doesn't the iPhone show a list of the least several backups.
Info:
iPhone 4S
Software version 5.1.1
Backed up to computer through iTunes (not iCloud)As you backup the iPhone in iTunes, it overwrites the last backup. Files are kept as they are changed, so that would explain how you get different dates in your backup folder. The only backups that are saved and not overwritten are the ones done just prior to a restore. You do have the option to go back in time on a Windows computer, however depending on the last time you set a restore point in Windows, it could be back further than you are willing to go.

Maintaining Macs--Why doesn't Apple tell you more?
This is not a problem that I need to solve but just something I've been wondering about. Why doesn't Apple tell people the routines they need to use to maintain their Macs?
If you do a search on "maintenance" in Support the fourth item is Mac Maintenance Quick Assist:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303602
The things they tell you to do are:
1) Keep Things Up to Date; 2) Put Your Files Away; 3) Name Your Files; 4) Prune Through Your Files; 5) Back Up Your Files; 6) Check for Viruses; 7) Clean the Outside
Where is anything about running the maintenance scripts, checking permissions, checking your preferences, updating the databases, cleaning caches, or anything else that software programs like Onyx, Cocktail, etc make their purpose? Why don't they mention getting a program like Disc Warrior and running it periodically?
The first item on their list is Keep Things Up to Date, meaning download system and application updates. Well after looking at these forums for a while I would have to say that is the worst thing you could do, as so many posts start, " Help! I updated my software and now things don't work...." Even if you look at this article about updating your software...
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106704
...nowhere does it mention repairing your permissions! Yet everywhere on this forum that is mentioned as one of the first things to do...unfortunately AFTER people are crazy with problems.
I don't get it. Even in the manuals that come with the computers none of this stuff is mentioned (last time I looked) except in the troubleshooting section. Would you buy a car where the owner's manual had "change the oil regularly" listed in a section on what to do after you've blown your engine?
Granted, a lot of people on this forum know all these things and do them regularly, but I have several friends with Macs who never do any regular maintenance because they've never been told to. One just called me last week because his iMac auto-updated and he had all sorts of problems.
So why is this? Why isn't basic Mac maintenance explained to people better? Going back to the car analogy, people have been taught they have to give their cars tune-ups or face an eventual breakdown. Why not with Macs?
I have been using Macs for years and enjoy looking into this geeky stuff. And I rarely have any serious problems. I would think it has a lot to do with the fact that I don't automatically update without checking MacFixit first and seeing what problems people are having and running a few simple maintenance routines periodically, plus backing up for good measure. Why isn't Apple more upfront with people about maintaining their Macs? Am I off-base here?
ibook G3, imac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.9)I'll provide you with several references you will find interesting reading:
http://www.macfixit.com/article.php?story=20060413075624652
http://www.macworld.com/2006/08/secrets/repairpermissions/index.php
http://www.macworld.com/2006/03/secrets/tcopermissions/index.php
http://www.atomicbird.com/node/view/29
The document to which you referred is an old one that dates back a ways when permissions repairs were often still needed because many installers improperly changed permissions or caused permissions to change through other improper operations. In reality the only thing permissions repair affects are the permissions on OS X installed software for which there are receipts in the /Library/Receipts/ folder and third-party software that install a receipt that includes information on resetting permissions for that software. The vast majority of third-party applications provide no such information and repairing permissions has no impact on them.
As for maintenance scripts they are now supposed to be run automatically regardless of whether the computer is turned on in the early AM, but this is an implementation with Tiger because Tiger introduced a new method of task launching. It's not 100 percent effective but it's better than it was. However, it's an easy problem to solve because there are some excellent utilities that solve the problem: Macaroni, Anacron, and Pseudo Anacron - VersionTracker or MacUpdate. I use Macaroni on all my Macs.
Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.0 is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.2 is Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. The current version, 1.5.1, is Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.
OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
6. Carbon Copy Cloner (Freeware - 3.0 is a Universal Binary)
7. SuperDuper! (Commercial)
The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
2. Toast
3. Impression
4. arRSync
Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
Referenced software can be found at www.versiontracker.com and www.macupdate.com.
I know that Joe Average has no clue, but it's not Apple's responsibility to provide Joe Average with clues on how to use a computer. No more than it's not GM's responsibility to teach you how be an automotive mechanic or how to drive. Some things you have to take responsibility for yourself. It's just that Joe Average is too lazy to read the User Guide, buy a book, or in any other way learn about computers before buying one.
As you can tell I am somewhat heavy handed about personal responsibility. Computers are essentially toys that aren't dangerous, but the person playing with them is. What really scares the crap out of me is that same Joe Average has a driver's license and may be old enough to drink liquor. When it comes to driving or drinking and driving Joe Average is no more competent. -

I have Adobe Reader X in Windows Vista. Why doesn't the Adobe PDF show up as a printer in my Hardware/Printers? Or can I add it to the Hardware/Printers? And how?
Adobe Reader - FREE - reads PDF files, prints them, fills forms.
Adobe Acrobat - $$ - as Reader, and makes PDFs and edits them, sorta, and does a bunch more.
So if you had Acrobat try and find the license to avoid having to pay again...
