Sorting, Custom Tags and Filter

Hello,
I just tried volumio for the first time and this looks very promising! However i miss some really essential features to really want use it as my main player.
Right now the library lists are all sorted alphabetically which makes them quite useless if you have a rather big library.
What I would like is an option to tell volumio which tags should be read from the files (Date, Composer, custom Tags, Performer,… ) and to be able to make lists (like foobar autoplaylists) using these tags with a simple syntax (maybe based on the foorbar title formatting syntax [1]).
With this it would be easy to make something like
%genre% IS classical SORT ASCENDING BY %composer% | “$sub(9999,$left(%date%,4))” | %album% | “%discnumber%” | “%tracknumber%”
which would only display classical albums sorted by composer and within one composer by release year.

Sadly I have no experience with NodeJS or AngularJS so I don’t know where to start, but maybe someone could give some insights if and when yes: how this could be achieved.

cheers to all contributors to this nice project!

I’ll 2nd this,

Since I destroyed my old amp and now running Volumio through Optical to my new amp Ive been busy making my way though all my CD’s turning them into FLAC. Some of my old MP3s I made almost 20 years ago! so the quality was noticeably poor!
SO, Ive done my CD’s mostly Rock, now for the Mrs CD’s which are mostly Classical and Opera.

I’m sure Alphabetically Tosca will nessle in with Thunder and Paverotti with Pink Floyd, but a Higher level customisable filter would be great!

Would make it even quicker to find music for a touch screen implementation as well…

Loving Volumio 2!

Cheers
