My artists are not sorted correctly?

If you find that your artist list is not sorted correctly, that is most likely to be caused by incorrect artist sort names.

The easiest way to check and correct artist sort names is through the Manage Pick Lists screen.
To open that screen, click menu Tools, then choose Manage Pick Lists.

On the left side, click “Persons”. That will show you your complete Artist list, with Sort Names, Display Names and more.

1. Double click on an artist to edit it
2. Now fill in the Last Name and First Name fields accordingly
3. The sort name will be generated automatically based on the Last Name and First Name fields
4. Verify the sort name field is now correctly filled in

*Use the special Sort Name options in the “Music Collector > Preferences > Sorting / AutoCap / Index” screen if you prefer to show Sort Names for persons everywhere (makes your sorted list a bit easier on the eye), or if you want to ignore Sort Names altogether (that is, you prefer to sort by first names).
