Questions / Re: "v" and "w" together when sorting album artists
« on: December 22, 2017, 04:26:10 AM »
I found a way around this problem. For every album artist that starts with w: in edit > sorting > edit custom values > the sort-as-column I put "wz" in front of the album artist name (and if the name starts with "the", I write like this: "wz Who, The"). For every album artist that starts with a "v" I put "vx" (for example "vx Velvet Underground, The".

Now all artist with a "v" as first letter is sorted before all the artists that starts with a "w". I have to do this manually everytime I add a new artist with v or w as first letter - but what the heck. It works.

Change of region didn't affect the sorting, no. I had to change language.

Good detective work, redwing! I changed windows to english and the problem was gone (although not being able to use swedish in windows is kind of a problem it self ...) It appears that windows are using this old swedish sorting. In the official swedish dictonary v and w have been seperated since 2006. Strang. But thanks!

Hi,
& thanks! However, I can't find anything in strange (or, more precisely, any words that starts with a "v" when it should have been "w" or vice versa).

It really looks like I've checked a box somewhere which says "sort v and w togheter": this is the only place in my library where the sorting goes wrong, and the sorting of album artist that begin with a v or a w is perfect - if you want MB to process v and w as if it was the same letter. This is the present order:



W
The Walkabouts   
The Walkmen

V
Van Morrison

W
The Wannadies
Warren Zevon
The Waterboys
We are scientists
Weeping willows
Weezer

V
The Veils
The Velvet Underground
The verve

W
Whiskeytown
White stripes
The Who
Whyte seeds
Wilco
Wilko Johnsoon
Will Oldham
Will T. Massey
Willie Nelson
Willie Nie
Wilmer x

V
Violent Femmes

W
Woody Guthrie
Woven hand

V
Vue

Questions / "v" and "w" together when sorting album artists
« on: December 18, 2017, 01:57:04 PM »
When I sort album artists in the main panel, with the a-z jumpbar at top, album artists that begin with "v" och "w" get mixed. for example:

W
Walkabouts
Walkmen

V
Van Morrison

W
Wannadies

V
Velvet Underground

W
Willie Nile

V
Violent femmes

... and so on.


2 questions about this:

1/ Is it possible to sort "v" and "w" seperatly?

2/ Or (if the above isn not possible) can I choose the headline "V/W" instead of "V" and "W". Now I get a lot of headlines with either "V" or "W" (see above).
