timlance 10 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 At least with the latest server update I do now get 'Appears On'. Success! Of a sort. Trouble is the 'Appears On' results are not sortable. They are rather random. If they were in alphabetical order I could have some sense of where i might end up but even then it'd be almost unusable. For example, our friend Mr. Beethoven appears on 99 albums. In the UI there is one row of album images. That's a boatload of scrolling required, especially on my phone when there are only two albums showing at a time. If I go into 'Songs' I get a nice list of 727 items which I can view in all sorts of ways (e.g. banner, list, etc.) and the . It would be quite efficient to have that ability for 'Appears On'.items are sortable. Thanks for sticking with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now they are by newer releases first, then by title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know. Nevertheless, doesn't help get through 99 albums. True, I don't have similar numbers for all composers, but plenty of others have more similar than not.

nmertaugh 0 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Hello. I use Emby for movies, TV, and music, it's fantastic. However, one place I have some minor issues with it is when serving a classical music library. Specifically, my tracks are all tagged with ID3 tags for composer and composer-sort. I'd love to sort by composer-sort in Emby when I list composers. Has this ever been considered as a feature? Right now, unless I am mistaken, I would have to write the composer tag as "last, first" if I want to sort by last name. But what I want is to tag composer with "first last" and then composer-sort with "last, first". Thank you so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
