    Sort by ascending/descending number of filled stars i assume. A basic process optimization problem/task for re-arranging the content of arrays. But maybe you mean something else when using the expression 'sorting'.

    On a sidenote: I tend to do searches for 1 argument at a time, putting the results in a separate playlist that i can sort by further arguments. I even do this when using smartlists as a kind of search filter as an intermediate step.

    maybe you don't know this: but Traktor allows you to have ONLY 2 simultaneous sorting argument listing. I normally already use them both: 1st: BPM, 2nd Key. I can't add a 3rd one! its the softwares limitation, not a misundertanding of the expression "sorting".

    I do know this; and until recently there was only a single argument available.

    What you do not seem to understand is that once you have sorted by column, you can make the sequence 'stick' by using 'consolidate playlist', which will rearrange the '#' numbers to the new sequence. This trick enables the user to sort by any number of arguments, one after the other.

    I explained this in an earlier post, but it must have gone under your notice.

    I think op is using smart Playlist which you can't consolidate.

    I think so as well, which is why i mentioned placing the contents of a smart playlist into a normal playlist. We all know it would be nice to have a better, more capable browser. This is the workaround.
