Sort Albums by Title does not work as expected

[Inkadue]

Hello,
my idea is to list various recordings of Beethoven´s Symphonies in the order of the symphony number.
So I titled the albums as follows

• LvB: 1. Symphonie, Nikolaus Harnoncourt
• LvB: 1. Symphonie, H.v. Karajan
• LvB: 1. Symphonie, Herrmann Scherchen
  etc.
  for all recording I filled in the field SORTED BY with 1. Symphonie

Alas, the result is not what I expected. Audirvana sorts the symphonies by artist and even places other works in between the symphonies (see below).

How comes? What can I do?

Hello @Inkadue,

What are your sorting criteria in Audirvana settings?

[Inkadue]

Hi @Antoine ,
I just changed the criteria:

More logical, but still odd:

• Listenelement

What is this attribute for?

[Antoine]

sortiert nach tag is the tag we use to sort your albums, can you check the others how are not properly sorted?

[Inkadue]

They are properly set to LvB: 1. Symphonie. I did for that purpose.

[Inkadue]

I found a stupid workaround: I selected for the first sort critera: file location.

And since all my folders are properly named I got what I wanted:

But it is still a miracle to me.

@Inkadue

They are properly set to LvB: 1. Symphonie. I did for that purpose.

All of the LvB: 1. Symphonie album have this sorting criteria? What about the other LvB albums you have?

[Inkadue]

All three 1st Symphonies have criteria: LvB: 1. Symphonie

All three 3rd Symphonies have criteria: LvB: 3. Symphonie

my expectation would be to have each grouped accordingly.

@Antoine Stupid me! Look at one of my first screen shots.

Instead of criteria for ALBUM I defined criteria for TITLE. No it works fine, even without the explicitly defined search criteria:

Merci pour votre service!
