I use pattern:
%DATE% - %ARTIST% - %ALBUM% - $num(%TRACKNUMBER%,3) - %TITLE%
for my playlist.
But:
Flotsam And Jetsam - [Doomsday For The Deceiver #07] She Took An Axe [5:14]
Flotsam And Jetsam - [Doomsday For The Deceiver #01] Hammerhead [6:15]
Flotsam And Jetsam - [Doomsday For The Deceiver #02] Iron Tears [3:52]
Flotsam And Jetsam - [Doomsday For The Deceiver #03] Desecrator [3:49]
Flotsam And Jetsam - [Doomsday For The Deceiver #04] Fade To Black [2:05]
Flotsam And Jetsam - [Doomsday For The Deceiver #05] Doomsday For The Deceiver [9:12]
Flotsam And Jetsam - [Doomsday For The Deceiver #06] Metalshock [8:17]
Flotsam And Jetsam - [Doomsday For The Deceiver #08] U.L.S.W. [4:22]
Flotsam And Jetsam - [Doomsday For The Deceiver #09] Der Fuhrer [5:46]
Flotsam And Jetsam - [Doomsday For The Deceiver #10] Flotzilla [6:09]

Why 7th song is on top of list?
I checked Album name and it's the same for all files.
Any idea? What should I check in configuration?

%DATE% is not the same for track 7?

This is my sort by string. Works quite nice, so if anybody should find it useful...

Code: [Select]
$if($stricmp($left(%ALBUMARTIST%,7),'Various'),%ALBUM%|%DISC%|$tracknumber(),%ARTIST%)|$if($stricmp($left(%ALBUM ARTIST%,7),'Various'),%ALBUM%|%DISC%|$tracknumber(),%ARTIST%)|$if($stricmp(%VARIOUS%,'1'),%ALBUM%|%DISC%|$tracknumber(),%ARTIST%)|$if($stricmp($left(%ARTIST%,7),'Various'),%ALBUM%|%DISC%|$tracknumber(),%ARTIST%)|%ALBUMARTIST%|%ALBUM ARTIST%|%ARTIST%|%DATE%|%ALBUM%|%DISC%|$tracknumber()|$if(%TITLE%,%TITLE%,%_path_raw%)

Select several tracks and watch properties of all these tracks to see if there are any differences between tags.

This my string for sorting, it works fine:
Quote
$if(%ALBUM ARTIST%,%ALBUM ARTIST%,$if(%various%,%album%,%artist%)) %disc% %album%  $num(%tracknumber%,3) %_directoryname% %_filename%
