Description Lucas Sallovitz 2012-08-22 14:07:22 UTC
I have a collection mounted over cifs (don't know if it's relevant) where I apparently have differnt casing for the same artist on some of my files (Pearl Jam - pearl jam).  When I try to expand one of the versions, the sorting between the version changes.

PS: I really don't like that it's shown as different artists, but I guess that's a different story, 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have artists "Pearl Jam" and "pearl jam" in the collection
2. See that Pearl Jam is listed before pearl jam
3. Expand Pearl Jam

Actual Results:  
Pearl Jam is expanded

Expected Results:  
Pearl Jam is expanded and "moved" bellow pearl jam

Well, id3 tags are case sensitive, you should make sure all your tags are respecting the same scheme.
Not a bug IMHO as it is not Amarok's fault if the user has different tagging schemes for the same artist.

Sorry I think you missunderstand the issue, I know the sorting is case sensitive (tho I don't like it), but the problem is that the order changes when I expand an artist, I click on an artist name and it moves, leaving the mouse pointer over a different one, and opening the album list bellow making it look like the wrong artist exanded, please check the screenshots.

I can reproduce your problem.

It seems that our sort order currently is like this:

1. lower case artist
2. unexpanded on top
3. last resort: the non-lower case artist

That means that an unexpanded "pearl jam" is after an an unexpanded "Pearl Jam" is before an expanded "Pearl Jam".

Sort order changes when expanding categories in collection

Now we enforcing a sort order even if the name is the same which
leads to the beneficial effect that "Various Artists" don't move
to the end if expanded.
