· My Albums sorted by album title ignores files' ALBUMSORTORDER tag. I prefer numbers and symbols to appear at the bottom of an alphabetical list, and I like leading articles/prepositions (e.g. “The”, “A”) to be ignored for sorting. The albums are purposefully unidentified, as I know some sort stuff is available for identified albums. Does Roon currently support ALBUMSORTORDER (or any album-level sort tag)? I've tried ALBUMSO, ALBUMSORT and the above to no avail. If not, is there a recommended workaround to achieve custom album sorting given it's achievable at the artist level?
Welcome to the community! It’s great to have you here.
To answer your question directly: Roon currently does not read or support the ALBUMSORTORDER, ALBUMSO, or ALBUMSORT file tags for custom sorting.
Currently, there is no direct workaround to force a custom sort order using secondary file tags without altering the main Album title itself.
Thanks for the feedback here. Since this is not a current feature of Roon, I would recommend also posting your suggestion in the Feature Suggestions section of the site
Our product team and developers keep a close eye on that category, so that’s definitely the best place to propose a change like this and get feedback from the Community. Many of our current features started exactly this way!
