About the new sort tags behavior
-
I noticed that after the latest update my collection's sort order has completely changed, and it looks to be due to this;
From the changelog for Version 1.2.12...
Added support for sort tags to collection, playlists and smart playlists.
My question - is there an option anywhere to disable that new sort behavior? Because I could not see one. Although it might be useful to some users, in my situation it's less than ideal. It's true I could fix it myself by re-tagging my collection, but I hope that won't be necessary.

@Lucidae is it that it's listing the artirsts by their last name? If so I have the same issue
For example Serj Tankian in this image -
@NescoPesto
Yes, I assume that Strawberry now looks for the "ARTISTSORT" metadata tag (last name, first name) and uses that value if present as the default sorting option in your collection. -
@Lucidae please come back to this post if you find a solution to this

In the new release we made use of sort tags for sorting, but the plan is to make an option for it.

I'm truly confused by how it's working then.
I have these 4 artists for example. (All my files are tagged using Picard - Musicbrainz)Using Album artist name (Album artist sort name) below. I use the Album artist name for sorting, though artist name is the same for these examples.
These 2 get sorted under S for Sammy:
Sammy Hagar (Hagar, Sammy)
Sammy Hagar & The Circle (Hagar, Sammy & Circle, The)These 2 get sorted under H for Hagar
Sammy Hagar and the Wabos (Hagar, Sammy and the Wabos)
Sammy Hagar With Vic Johnson (Hagar, Sammy with Johnson, Vic)There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason to the sorting.
