My first post on the new forums which i didnt like at first but are growing on me.
With this new system that pioneer have implemented i hope this feature request will be looked at and added as i believe it to be a simple change and very useful.
Basically i find recordbox sorts by single columns only, you click on a column, artist for example and it will sort that list alphabetically. What would be really useful is if Rekordbox remembered the column you had previously sorted so that each letter in the artist column will be sub sorted on the previous column. Confused? Im not surprised if you are but ill try and explain with a diagram:
A B C
ARTIST KEY BPM The table on the left is currently sorted by column B, but if you look at column C
Alex 1A 120 you will notice that it is sorted in numerical order within each key.
Simon 1A 124
Chris 2A 120
Dave 2A 124
Dave 2A 126
Simon 3A 120
Chris 3A 120
Chris 5A 128
I hope your still with me, lets say we now click on column A for Artist, remembering that column B was previously sorted. After clicking column A the table would look like this.
A B C
ARTIST KEY BPM

The table is now sorted for column A but has rembered the previous column sort and all the artists are in alphabetical order and within each letter in column A it is further sorted in Column B. Record box does not do this and i dont believe im the only person who has noticed this. When you have vast librarys this is a quick way of ordering playlists without having to use the keyboard and streamlines work flow, which is what record box is all about right?
I hope people understand and i hope people think this has value to it, crucially i hope the developers take note and impliment it as im sure its not to hard to do. I feel you only really understand how useful this is if you have used a program that does that, but believe me record box needs this!
