Sorting in iTunes library by >1 column

No.

In iTunes itself essentially no. Some columns have sort variations such as album by album artist, or by year, or album alone.

It may be possible to script sorting using Applescript so it generates a second playlist from an original with items in a specific manual sort order by certain criteria. I have not had a need for this so I have not investigated. do a general web search and in particular check the Dougscripts web site.

Officially NO.

You can, however, get the same result as sorting by two columns at once, because iTunes does not bother to randomize columns not used for the latest sort, in effect it remembers the previous sort. Sorry, this is harder to explain, than to do....

Example:

Click on the Album column header. Albums are alphabetized.

Now click on the Year. The list of tracks is now sorted chronologically by release Year.

Note, however, that within each Year group, the Albums remain alphabetized.

Bingo! The list is now sorted by Year AND by Album.

Or click on any other column header.

Then click on Year.

So when I click on ANY heading in itunes whether it be name, artist, plays, whatever, it WILL NOT sort. I used to now it wont. Any ideas?
