Sorting songs in your library or a playlist
You can sort the songs in your library or a playlist by any of the displayed columns. You may want to do this to look for a song, or to find items in your library that match a particular characteristic (for example, songs in the Rock genre or songs that were saved in AAC format).
Here are ways to sort songs in your library or playlist:
- To sort the list by a column, click the column heading. For example, if you want to sort the list by album title, click the Album heading.
- To reverse the sort order, click the triangle that appears to the right of the column heading when the column is selected.
- To return to the previous order of songs in a playlist, click the leftmost column heading (above the numbers) that shows the play order.
Tip: If you don't see the column heading you're looking for, press the Control key and click a column heading to see a list of columns you can view. Select an item (so that it has a checkmark next to it) to make it visible or deselect an item to remove it.
You can also scan through all the artists or albums in your music library by selecting Music and clicking the Browse button (it looks like an eye). If you don't see the Artist and Album panes, click Browse again.
