You can sort the results by any Column by simply clicking on the Column Header.

The results will now be listed alphabetically by Artist.


You can reverse the order by clicking on the Artist Column Header again.

Filter Per Column

In addition to the other search and filter options, you can also apply filters on each Column Header.

To access the filter options for a Column, click on the Filter button on the Column Header.

You can use the Select options to tick the options you want to filter by. 

In this example, the below, the Female and Girl Band options are ticked which will filter the results to only show Media Items with the Gender set to either Female or Girl Group.


For more advanced filtering you can use the lower section to add conditional filtering.

Filter By Item Type, Category, Attribute or Tags

You can use the Navigation Tree on the left-hand side to select the results displayed in the main Library window.

In the example above, the All Songs > Pop Category > Big Hit Type has been selected so the Library is only showing Media Items that are Songs in the Pop Catirgy with the Big Hits Type set.
