This is absolutely confusing, you also should have mentioned it in the description instead of trying to pursue it without us knowing (despite me explicitly suggesting the behaviour to rest the sorting). The UI must never be inconsistent, at least never intentionally without proper rationale. Clicking sorting button at level N must always replace existing sorting at level N. Period. In this regard and your use-case, I actually think that something closer to the original behaviour would be better: have Shuffle at each level. (so that clicking on left-most would reset all levels, clicking on right-most would do what you want for your use-case) The goal of Amarok is to be usable by "ordinary" users (think of your girlfirend), I know that most of us came to it as scratching its own itch, but we should really think about it becore introducing $next_supper_witty_beahviour or $suboption_of_already_a_microption. - Matěj ----------------------------------------------------------- This is an automatically generated e-mail.
