Sort fields are basically sortable fields that accompanies original fields, like Title, Artist, Album Artist, Album, and Composer. People can put sorted names and such in these sort fields so that those original fields can be properly sorted in order.
Example use case of sort fields:
- artists with non-latin characters (like CJK characters) can have Latin transliteration in sort fields so they can be sorted properly within A-Z instead of being put after Z.
- artists with leading The, A, An, and so on, like The Beatles, can have "Beatles, The" in the sort field. Although it seems that GMMP had internally omitted such strings when sorting, so I guess it's been accounted already.
What I'm asking here is, the support to read these sort fields in tags and the ability to sort music by them. The sort fields have been properly documented in this complete specification of tags:
wiki.hydrogenaud.io/index.php?title=Tag_Mapping
The sort fields, as you can see in the Mapping Tables, are Album Title Sort Order, Track Title Sort Order, Album Artist Sort Order, Track Artist Sort Order, Composer Sort Order, and so on.
I hope this feature request is implementable and easy to understand. If you need more explanation I am willing to provide more assistance. And lastly, thank you for developing such an amazing abd full-featured music player.
