I don’t know what I did, but somehow the song picker no longer lists songs in any discernible order. I’ve tried deleting SongList3.bin, deleting the preferences and even reinstalling BiaB.

Any suggestions?

When you click on the column name at the top will it change ?

The column headings are not clickable.

(On mine, at least. I don’t recall if they were clickable before this started or not. The column headers have a flatter look to them than the ones in the style picker, which are clickable.)

I suppose that is another "To Do" the column sort.
Is it in the same order as the SongList.bin ?
You can put it into an excel spreadsheet and sort them,
then type the song in the search.

I don’t have Excel, and I’ve had no luck loading it in LibreOffice in any recognizable form (just exactly what character is it using for a delimiter, anyway?). That said, it does seem to have the same order as the song picker window.

I may just take to loading files from the Finder.

You can use Find & Replace to remove the garbage characters between the names with a delimiter - or anything else.

It should be the same order as the filename > File Name

So I can confirm that the issue is a problem with having the songs folder on an APFS volume. I realized this when I noticed that the custom icons dialog in Logic Pro X was all out of order as well. I copied my songs folder over to an HFS+ volume and, sure enough, the songs appeared in the correct order.

I don’t know enough about the file systems to tell what’s gone wrong. I’ve sent feedback to Apple so maybe it’ll get fixed in an update.
