The Right One

I posted this at the end of a tread I had about "Drop as absolute in REL mode glitch" then nike39 said I should start a new thread so, here you go.
For some reason, some of my songs are now out of alphabetical order. I know that the album column & Track # effects this, & I have also noticed that the Unicode that the text in the tag is written in can sometimes also effect this. But the thing is I had already gone through all my crates & fixed anything that was out of order. But now in 2.1 there is a lot of song that are out of order. But when I open 2.0. Everything is perfect. I think I have just figured it out. It appears that its blank spaces in some of the fields that is effect this. But this white noise does not seem to effect the ABC order code in 2.0. Only in 2.1. & since you can't see it. Its very hard to detect. Not sure if this is a glitch or if you wanted to make it this way. But it is very frustrating to have to go record by record & try to fix this issue. I had become a costume to where all my songs were located & this has been slowing down my mixes lately. The fact that I have to look for edits that where always normally in order.
With that said, I have another question. Have you ever thought off adding a feature that allows the user to decide what fields he or she wanted to use to priorities the Alphabetical order? For example. I do not like the fact the ALBUM & TRACK # are a higher priority then TITLE. I understand that many people like it this way. But everyone is different. I think it would be a cool feature if you could pick the priority yourself as the user & even select the columns that you don't want to effect the order all. FOR EXAMPLE. I would select BPM #1 ARTIST #2 & TITLE #3 & nothing else. This way, the only thing that would override this is if you clicked on the tab. So if I clicked ALBUM, then it would be ALBUM #1 BPM #2 ARTIST #3 & TITLE #4. If I clicked on TITLE then it would be TITLE #1 BPM #2 ARTIST #3. You get the point. But the user could select the order they like best.. This would be a great options....
Thank You for your time.
