Hmmm, After checking "Answers" for 'sort order, I came across this:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+question/127031 It never got answered. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1087017 Title: WHY does rhythm box keep on mangling sort order of a library? Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I have RB 2.98 on my 32 bit Precise install (fresh install from CD). After painstakingly correcting the ARTIST sort order for a decent number of entries in the library, rhythmbox decides to throw that corrected sort order OUT! It will be "correct", until I quit rhythmbox. Once I re-open rhythmbox, it goes back to what it was before. All of that time WASTED. For example, Alicia Keys should be sorted as 'Keys, Alicia', putting her in with all of the other "K's"; but, for some tracks, rhythmbox insists that the sort order MUST be Alicia Keys, not Keys, Alicia. So what gives???? I do not believe that it is a case of permissions, as I have rw permissions on all files. They type of file (flac or mp3) does not affect this, as it occurs to BOTH. BTW, I just checked one of the "corrected' entries. Where "Keys, Alicia" was supposed to be, it was BLANK! Does this have something to do with the ID3 tags???? Or, is it some consequence of rhythmbox "watching" my library for changes??
