Yep, good idea.

Sounds good...

Will a Track Rating field be implemented soon??

This is great for my parties i could select rnb rap dancehall as ui play theese genres together and other night when i gotta slect house , breakbeat ,elctro .

Nice idea.

Would be wicked to sorth alpabetically & via bpm @ the same time!

Big idea!

Props

Yep a vote from me too

check this thread out it has been suggested there too

www.scratchlive.net

I use iTunes smart playlists as a workaround for this. ^^^

On top of this, it would be great to be able to select 2 crates or playlists (or more) and have all those tracks show up in one list. ie Shift clicking 2 albums - one list of tracks.

Great idea.

+mr burns wages!

Plus One

Wicked idea!!!

Add my vote here for hierarchical sorting... sort by bpm, then comment (key, in my case). Or, for ex, if you sort by bpm first and then by genre, you end up with a list of each genre that ascends or descends by bpm.

I second the motion!

Absolutely necessary.

I had been using an Excel spreadsheet that allowed me to do just this. I would regularly use three columns to sort with hierarchically. . . and could have each hierarchical sort be ascending or descending. I could perform this sorting quickly via shortcut keys, and it really reduced the time it took me to make my next track selection.

Here's an example of how I would use multiple sorting keys:
Current track playing is "electro" with a bpm of 128 in the Camelot key of 4B. My next track I want to also be electro, be near to 128, and be in the same or adjacent key. I would sort via electro/bpm/camelot key.

There are other things I would sort by too, a few would be "energy" (which isn't always coorelated to the bpm), and mood (0-10 = sad to happy).

Needless to say, I wouldn't limit how many sorting keys can be used. It's the day and age of Object Oriented Programming, you can make this happen.

Of course, this feature isn't much good unless columns correlating to custom ID3 tags are available. Which is also a must in my opinion and though not the topic of this thread, very much related.

+1!!

yep.

+1 to sorting by multiple columns

Dj Hyundai is right!

even windows xp can do that :)

+1 from me as well!

I like this idea, I'm just posting because my other suggestion was that when you sort something like by artist the program should omit the "the" in the group/artist name. eg. "The O'Jay's" should be found under the O's as opposed to the T's.

Still like Hondai's idea thought

+1... Makes random sessions so much easier!!!

any idea if the feature suggestions forums are still admininstrated?
there are like 1000 topics in here but no serato response for a long time now :(

They say that they go threw them and read, but there is no proof, besides of the few ideas that is implemented in Serato already, like sampler!!!

Really need this!! +1, Please!

Should be able to first sort by BPM, and then sort by Camelot, (keeping the BPM sorting) , then sort by genre, and then by date, etc..

My other data bases allow me to do this, it can't be too difficult to implement, and it would make organizing so much better.

Wow. I just see now that people have been asking for this for 4 years!!!

Hard to believe, not even a response...

+1

I completely agree. Better sorting features is WAY OVERDUE.



It is very sad that Serato isn't quicker to implement ideas like this (or at least respond to their users). I think it's safe to say that they are loosing some market share to competitors because of things like this. I guess in the end it is their loss.

yes

YES! +1... How sweet would it be to just look at your Recently Added list and see them there sorted by date, and then by key.... Heaven!

I'm wondering if there is ANY software that can't do this. I mean, it can't be that hard?!

hey this was my idea... wow. this was created in 2006 and still nothin has been implemented?

serato.com

How about:

If you click a column heading that becomes the primary sort column, then if you Ctrl/Cmd-click another heading that becomes the secondary sort column, Ctrl/Cmd-click another column that becomes the tertiary, etc etc.
When you subsequently click a column heading without Ctrl/Cmd pressed everything resets and that column becomes the new primary sort column.

I'd love to be able to sort by Year (primary), Artist (secondary), Track name (tertiary).

very good idea, well needed!

5 years + and counting! Serato where are you?

oh yes bumb +100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

If they could allow us to sort by multiple columns, they're library functionality would be +10000x better than whatever they have planned next.

Come-on SSL devs, stop screwing around. Give us the option to CTRL + Click on columns so we can multi-sort columns, or something

SL already automatically sorts by a second column.

Not really

Sort BPM AND KEY.
ARTIST AND BPM
COLOR DOT AND BPM
And loads other combos.

Automatically yes, but we cannot change that second column. We're asking for the ability to choose the second column

Then you should word your suggestions better.

The original post is from 2006 which requests a second column sort (If it was implemented back then I don't remember). However Gazzinho's post of January 2011 pitches another idea, still a track sorting improvement

I knew you guys on here would of thought of this!! Now that I am using mixedinkey I really would like to be able to sort by bpm and key. This can't be too difficult, can it? Like Hondai said years ago, most databases have this feature. What do you think? Anyone else still interested in this?
