It was made for work parts (so, “Symphony has movements 1, 2, 3” and the like) and has been available there for quite a while, but not really elsewhere.
I’d really like to see “single from compilation” relationship type sorted by release date of each single, but that is a RG-RG relationship. I swear I’ve seen a ticket for it somewhere…
I am not sure if this is related, but now attributes (ie. live, cover, medley, etc) are no longer shown next to “recording of” in the relationship editor. On the page of a recording, “live recording of: Work X” is now shown as “recording of: Work X (live)”.
Reviving old thread: since some time it is possible to explicitly set an order of works linked to a recording. The explicit order is visible in “edit recording” mode, but it is not reflected when just displaying the work, or on a release level.
If you open the recording in edit mode, you see that linked works are ordered: first is the “Scene”, the second is “Archbishop’s Narrative”. But if you open the recording in a normal, non-edit mode, the order is just alphabetic: first “Archbishop’s Narrative”, than the “Scene” (the work names are in Russian, but in this case the alphabetical order is by chance the same as for English translations). The same wrong order if you open the release (https://musicbrainz.org/release/b7d96c31-f828-41d0-bb7f-39a8ab811d8b), CD 43 track 4.
Any chances that the sort order may be respected in various views?
This doesn’t seem to be the case anymore (maybe it was a cache issue): I’m seeing the order just fine there. The order is still wrong on the release display though
I got it, you mean that they are in the right order in the section “recording of” where the numbers are displayed. You are right.
I was writing about the detailed references in the section “Related works” below (see the example screenshot). But I suppose it is OK since the right order is available in the “recording of” section.
