In earlier versions, one could sort items in the list by clicking on the appropriate column heading. No longer does column sort work.
In earlier versions, one could quickly navigate to a song title by entering the starting letter for that song. This no longer works, and requires manual navigation. There is no way to quickly navigate to a song title.
Additionally, the song appear to be sorted by default in folder/sub-folder order and not alphabetically.
Please re-introduce the original important functionality.

OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

+1 in support of the requests made by VideoTrack and Tony Wright to return to earlier StylePicker version behavior:
A) Sort by clicking on the appropriate column heading
B) Quickly navigate to a song title by entering the starting letter for the first word in the song title
C) Sort by song title, not folder / sub folder hierarchy
D) Reinstate the checkbox option that permits "play when chosen" when the checkbox is checked. Hopefully the default will be enabled.

VideoTrack:
Have you mentioned this directly to the Support Group?
Not sure how closely they monitor Wishlists at this busy time of year.
Thanks!

Also, see this post. When using the Song Picker, the cursor should stay in its last position and not reset itself to the beginning of the song listings.

And, when scrolling through the real tracks picker, as I often do, an earlier BIAB version allowed you to tap on a letter, such as “P” to get to pianos (or pedal steel) and it jumped immediately. That feature disappeared several versions back. You have to start with “accordion” and scroll down manually. Unless I’m doing something wrong.

Just another thought :
Why did they remove from the songpicker some features that were well working ?
It would be useful for the users to get PGM people to comment this post.
It is not the first time that we don't understand some choices made by PGM in this program.

Dang it, PGM, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Also -- I don't recall offhand, but did the Song Picker used to stay at the last song you picked, or has it always reset itself to the beginning each time you went back to browse? I though it stayed where I left it, but I can't say for sure. It definitely doesn't now. There's a way to get the Style Picker to stay put. Seems like the Song Picker should have this same feature. Or requirement.

Come one PG Music.
You hear the voices of the very people that have made your company successful beyond your wildest dreams and bring this feature back.
I have yet to hear 1 single person who likes the removal of these needed features we have come to love over the past years.
Did anyone in your 2019 planning meetings voice the opinion that the thousands of users will love it if we take these features out without asking their opinion?
Bring these 5 features back please.
A) Sort by clicking on the appropriate column heading
B) Quickly navigate to a song title by entering the starting letter for the first word in the song title
C) Sort by song title, not folder / sub folder hierarchy
D) Reinstate the checkbox option that permits "play when chosen" when the checkbox is checked. Hopefully the default will be enabled.
E) Bring back the Last Used Directory feature so we don't have to keep clicking our mice to get to where we really want to be.
