I've had a little more time to take a look at this, and it looks like I don't even need to close the program for it to strip out the Sort Artist.
In the morning, I can change the Sort Artist field for "Jack McDuff" to "McDuff, Jack." It will work immediately, changing the sort order for those tracks. I can go back and look the tags right away, and it's still correct. But even leaving Banshee open all day, by the time I get back from work, it will be back under "Jack McDuff." I look at the Sort Artist tag, and it's blank. Odd behavior indeed. -- Sort fields are not retained https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/385030 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
