Sort Names

Artists, Albums, Songs and Videos are sorted using a sort name. This sort name can be sourced from embedded metadata.

If such metadata is not present, the sort name is derived using a very basic algorithm, which extracts prefixes such as the, a and an. For example, a song title The One will have One, The as sort name.

⚠️ If the song's name or artist's name contains featuring artists (e.g. My Song (feat. A) or Artist A & Artist B), the associated embedded sort name will be ignored and Meelo will re-compute sort names using the aforementioned algorithm.
