Artist Sort

[SenorSmartyPants]

I'm attempting to do some work on the Ampache Subsonic API. Ampache currently strips prefixes from artist names, so "The B-52's" becomes "B-52's" in the xml from the api. I altered this to include the prefix in the generated XML like this.

Code: Select all

<subsonic-response xmlns="http://subsonic.org/restapi" type="ampache" version="1.13.0" status="ok">
  <indexes lastModified="1477568636000">
    <index name="B">
      <artist id="100000159" name="The B-52's"/>
      <artist id="100000140" name="Beastie Boys"/>
      <artist id="100000133" name="The Beatles"/>
      <artist id="100000153" name="Beck"/>
    </index>
  </indexes>
</subsonic-response>


But DSub resorts this to put "The B-52's" and "The Beatles" into the T's and not the B's.

Could this be changed so DSub just displays the XML in the order it was passed?

As part of the indexes metadata Subsonic passes "ignoredArticles" which contains a list of words like "the" which should be ignored for sorting purposes.

Thanks.

I'm adding proper ignoreArticles into the xml response from Ampache.
