Sorting By Column In Style Picker Window For example, a click on a column heading will sort the list by that column ascending. Then another click again on the same column heading will sort the list by the column descending. A sort indicator would also be nice, to show which column has the current sort and which direction the sort goes. This would help one sift through the ever-growing styles list faster and easier. Please consider this for a future version of Biab. Thanks. -- Mark Kamoski

It needs a revamp it the Team can't do everything at once. I'd like to see it work like RTs pickerbbut have no idea how. Lol Old Guys Rule.The older I get,the better I was!

Click on a column head and it will sort by that column alos, Realtrack picker shows which is the sort column by a asterisk (#1). If this asterisk cannot be seen, it might be that you have place the cursor on the boundary between headings (#2) and drag the column to the right to make it wider. Regards, Noel MY SONGS...

This is the "Style Picker" to which I am referring in my post. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7_Gy5Rt1UpcQU1rRWFieVZCQlk/edit?usp=sharing When I click on the column headers in that dialog, there is no sort. Maybe I am missing something? What do you think? Thanks. -- Mark Kamoski Last edited by mkamoski; 01/26/14 05:59 PM.

Noel was referring to the "Real Tracks" picker window, which does allow sort, but was not probably what you were after. It might be a good one the the Wish List?

You could also show the Instruments of the Style somehow in the sort list. Michael Frank http://www.michael-frank.eu

Biab still needs support for column-click sorting in the Style Picker Window, as discussed above. Please, please, please, consider adding this feature. Regardless, Biab 2015 is great as-is and I am very thankful for all your hard work and dedication to keep this excellent tool moving forward. Thanks. -- Mark Kamoski

I know how much it speeds up the workflow, because I have implemented that several times in my work. Janne Hear My Music: Soundcloud YouTube
