Artist Sort Order

Hi there.
There is still something wrong with my Artist Sort Order.

My tags are i.e.
ARTISTS = Alice Cooper
ARTISTSORT = Cooper, Alice
ALBUMARTISTSORT = Cooper, Alice

In the Artist View this Artist still is ordered by A and the Edit-Dialogue shows (its a german UI)
Interpret = Alice Cooper
Interpreten Sortier-Name = Alice Cooper

What I am doing wrong?

Thank you
Peter

Once Plex has ingested an artist or album or movie or…
it won’t change anything if you edit the metadata of the files afterwards.

There ist the Plex Dance to force Plex to view at files as if it has never seen them.
(with Music you can omit step 4)

You’ll have to remove all albums & tracks by this particular artist, when performing the Dance.

No Luck.
Even if I move the artist completely out of sight, bounce the server, empty trash can, move the artist back in place, the result is the same.
Therefore my question, to which ID-tag the field Artist-Sort-Name belongs to or how it is filled.

The artist (and its sorting string) might only be purged after a week or two of being absent.
You either

  • wait
  • edit the sorting title manually
  • scrap the whole library and recreate it
