Music sorting not working properly


Recommended Posts

Emby's sorting of my music library still seems inexplicably wrong. Example: I view "Albums" within "Artist" Frederic Chopin, then sort by "Title," but what Emby shows has no relation to actual "Title" or "Sort Title," both of which I confirmed are correct in Emby's "Edit Metadata" screens. See screenshots below. What is Emby sorting on, and why isn't it correctly sorting on either "Title" field?

Hi, have you compared the sort title value of all the items on that screen? That’s what will answer this question.

Yes, I posted one image, but before that I checked Emby's own edit metadata screen for all of the visible albums. Both "Title" and "Sort Title" for each one correctly reflect what is visible on the mis-sorted screen.

Many of the albums have a Discogs ID, but no other retrieved information. And weirdly, SOME of the albums in the box set [white covers: "Chopin - DG (disc etc.)"] have Discogs ID but others do not, and that doesn't seem to map to their helter-skelter sorting relative to each other or to the other Chopin albums in m yMusic library. What's going on? How can this be fixed?

Hi, I'm not sure what the issue is, but we'll be releasing Emby Server 4.8 this week barring unforeseen circumstances, so I would suggest reevaluating once you have that.

If it's still an issue after that you could see if the problem occurs with a new artist (and thus, new albums).
