Today I discovered some totally weird behaviour on the “My Classical Composers” page.
When sorted by “most played” with the arrow downwards:
And sorted by “most played” with the arrow upwards:
As you can see the result is the same AND does not reflect the number of times I have played music by these composers. Instead, they seem to be sorted alphabetically by their first names!
Strange, in my library the sorting works as expected.
By the way, you can change the name sorting behaviour in Settings->General.
These are my current settings:
Could you give an example in the form of a screenshot?
This seems to be working okay for me
Is there anything else I can do that might help reproduce this?
Is there any change after a reboot?
Edit
Actually, I can reproduce this if I switch to a profile that has no history playing these composers, so there is no actual play history to sort by. Any chance you’re using a different profile than usual?
Thanks, @dylan , for your quick reaction.
Actually, in one of the sort orders you’re showing in your screenshot-movie (Albert Roussel, Alexander Scriabin, Ambroise Thomas, Anton Bruckner, Antonio Caldara, etc…), the order of the composers seems to be by first name. The other situation (Franz Schubert, Robert Schumann, Albert Roussel, Alexander Scriabin, etc) might indeed be by guided by the number of times you listen to these composers. But still, in this second situation, after Schubert and Schumann, the composers are shown in alphabetical order based on their first names, as they are in the first situation.
Could it be that the only classical composers you’ve listened to (recently) are Schubert and Schumann?
No, no change after a reboot!
Odd , mines sorted by Last Name, I listen classical 7 days a week
Most played shows Beethoven, inverted shows Copland
Entirely as expected
Thanks, @Hans_Valeton
Okay, can you reproduce the issue (toggle it a few times) and then send logs? You can use the directions found here and send us over a set of logs using a shared Dropbox link (or any other file sharing service).
Thanks!
Hi @dylan,
I toggled between sorting my composers by most played up- and downward a few times (6) and the log entries from RoonServer_log.txt (AppData\Local\RoonServer\Logs) were so few that I thought I’d give them here, instead of zipping and sharing them:

Perhaps entirely superfluous but these are the logging entries form the Roon_log.txt (AppData\Local\Roon\Logs) from the exact same period:

It is not a really important feature, but I still have this issue reported 3 years ago. Tried to sort the list of composers by ´Most played´. It seems not to work at all, as sorting upwards or downwards always delivered the same result equalling die alphabetical order:
Was there any progress regarding fixing this minor issue or at least understanding where it is originating from?
Hmm - it seems to be working for me…
Most played…
Least played…
I believe that where the numbers are the same, then the names get listed in alphabetical order… This first batch are of composers whose works are in my library, but those works have never been played… 
That makes sense, it is the same with artists having the same album count.
It seems that with my roon core no airtime is assigned to the composers at all. On the other hand, sorting albums or artists by `most played´ works flawlessly:
@dylan Did you have a look at these logs?
I have the same problem: sorting by most played composer returns obviously wrong list order.
Hello All,
This is an older issue, but I wanted to follow-up here to let you know that we have been able to reproduce this behavior and have put in a ticket for the dev team. As per policy, I can’t comment on timelines, but it is in the queue.
Thanks and p
lease keep us posted!
