ok started a new topic

just in case anyone out there did not realise the power of  GROUPING TAG think of GROUPING TAG as boxes for  your music

i have
80's Compilation
70's Compilation
60's Compilation
Dance Compilation
Top of The Pops
90's Compilation
00's Compilation
Christmas Compilation

so i started adding ;
so albums would show up in more then  1  GROUPING  eg 80's Compilation;Christmas Compilation

that seem to work  but quit mb and then  80's Compilation;Christmas Compilation  is no longer showing in both GROUPING  "80's Compilation" "Christmas Compilation" ..... now is just showing 80's Compilation;Christmas Compilation is this a bug or have i missed some thing

Is the semicolon with no space how you're entering the multiple tags? Does it work if you add a space?

Hmm. Keywords is a bad comparison because it works differently than other fields anyway. But I moved this to bug reports for either clarification or investigation.

As I understand it, for artist values an entry like ab;cde will be treated as one value because the ; could be part of the artists name. Whereas ab; cde is treated as two values.

i cant reproduce any issues with setting the "grouping" tag to multiple values ie. all muyltiple values appear separately in the column browser and thumbnail browser. Are you using the latest version from the downloads page?

thats correct. Multiple values are only split on filter panels such as column browser; library explorer and thumbnail browser.
Sorting/ Grouping the main panel into multiple values isnt supported and never was
