Sorry to be a pain, sort it to what?
by the left hand tree I mean the content tree/menu

well, go first to the artist profile, you can find it on the upper left side: Home > Entire collection > "artist name" click on it!.. once you are in the profile go to "display" there you'll find the primary name and the sort name... if you put "Jackson, Michael" as the sort name, then it will appear just like that on the left tree, now if you put Michael Jackson as the primary name, then it will appear Michael Jackson on the left tree...
Hope this will be useful!
I want Jackson, Michael to be the sort name, but when it;s shows on the left tree I want it to show Michael Jackson ie
Janet Jackson
Michael Jackson
Zebadee Jackson
Sorry I can't make it more clear
ok.. then the sort name should be Michael Jackson and the primary name Jackson, Michael
No, that would give you the sort (using my own collection):
Louis Armstrong
Louis Jordan
Lynne Arriale
when what is wanted is
Louis Armstrong
Lynne Arriale
.........
Louis Jordan
(with lots of names between Arriale and Jordan, of course).
I have looked for ways to get OCD to sort with Last name First Name but display First Name Last Name for a long time (my first OCD entry is now 7 years old) and not found a way to do it. As far as I can tell, OCD will display in the left tree what it sorts by.
And, in any case, I do not think you can directly edit Primary Name. That is determined by what appears in the Artist Field on the general tab of an album's property sheet.
Jazz_North is correct, that's how I want to sort it.
So you reckon it can't be done?
