[mythtv-users] Mythmusic Playlist creation - sort order change within directory?

Hi all...

I'm trying to get any number of minor Myth features set up correctly; a
lot of these things "work" in my current setup, but weren't set up the way
I really want.  An example is the playlists in MythMusic.

I currently have all of my .mp3 files in the /media/audio directory, in a
number of subdirectories, which somewhat mirror some of the playlists I
want to set up (i.e. tunes from the '60s and '70s are in the
/media/audio/tunes/60-70 directory, '80s through '00s in
/media/audio/tunes/80-90-00, etc.  In Setup, I have the sort field set to
"directory".  I also have it set NOT to ignore what's in the ID3 tags.

However, when I go to set up individual playlists, I go into one of the
subdirectories to select the files.  *Within each subdirectory*, I want
the music to come up sorted by Artist/Title for playlist selection. 
However, when I go from "All My Music" into a subdirectory, the songs are
sorted by Track Number/Title.  I can't seem to find a way to have them
come up within the subdirectories as Artist/Title.  I couldn't care less
about the track number.  How do I change this?  I can't find it in the
docs.

Thanks
Bob
