Hi Folks / PG crew Assume I need an RT guitar... even feel. So I type "guitar" in picker. Now I need EV feel. So I sort by that, clicking "Feel" on the top of picker. Now I need right tempo within EV feel... But of course when I press to sort by tempo, EV/Swing get mixed up and any other sorting options will prioritize just that specific sorting. Request is to have an option of chain query A->B->C or B->C-A or any other combination instead of A or B or C, etc. Meaning, new sort query will respect prior choice. If Selecting EV feel and then sort by tempo it will sort and show tempo within all EV feel first, not mixing up with SW. I do understand that some would prefer raw searching, that is why I mentioned to have as an "option". P.S. Jim F. Mentioned that this was requested a few times, I just can not find older threads. So consider this a "bump"

I just tried a few strings in the Filter String, using commas and plus signs, hoping to find a way to specify the sort order. I could not make it work.

Hierarchical sorting would be a big advantage.

+1 from me. The RealDrums Picker should also have nested filtering capability but it doesn't. Mario D stated in +++ THIS +++ thread the StylePicker supports nested filters. It confusing when one search window filters one way and the rest filter a different way.

Jim, are you trying to derail my post with RealDrums Picker? (joke :)) If we are talking about a side request, I believe that a unified picker for all creative content (something inline to what I proposed earlier) RT,RD,Loops,User Tracks, Midi etc. is the only true way to go forward. To save time in a future. An investment. less "disconnected" search options, better organized content, PLUS getting rid of all the menu options when choosing a track for the mixer, as it would be defined by whatever you choose in a single (tabbed) picker. and of course, the subject of this thread: Nesting / Hierarchical sorting rules should apply universally...by option P.S. Ohh yes my biggest request Utility Tracks, hopefully will be also under one roof with the rest of mixer tracks and not with their "own" picker. Many pickers are driving me nuts. Not sure why developers decided on different multiple pickers in the first place and not just use the template of the main picker, removing options that "do not apply". Should be much easier to maintain too (!)

There are many discussions about finding the right content in PGM Content Library brewing on the forum lately, I want to bump this thread from some time ago.
While people have very different opinions on how searching should be done, this sorting (independent of filtering) request should work universally for all, and will compliment whatever the future searching capabilities BIAB may adopt.

+1 again.
Some manner in which we can sort, then sort again within that first sort etc. Is needed.

More support.
Nested multi-level sorting would be extremely beneficial.

great ideas and +1.
but i have to say from experience in systems development no matter how good the search algorithm nothing beats 'down and dirty' pounding through all content.
yes i know its time consuming but i find i miss some great pg content if i dont do it.
just my opinion.
happiness.
om

OM, I do that when it's essential, but there must be an easier way.
I also audition every new style and RealTrack when they are released and I keep notes, but sometimes it's hard to recall the sound I want months or years later, so I have to do the brute force method all over again.
The success of a search also depends on the accuracy of jhow a style is categorized initially. Is it jazz and Latin, jazz and blues, or all three or absolutely only one of these? Would you agree with my judgement if I assigned one of these labels? This is something I have done in beta testing: report what I think are questionable descriptions; however, I recognize with ten different musicians you might get seven to ten different judgments.
And we have been talking about searching indexes. What about the requests to find a RealTrack or style by playing a sound?
With so many thousands available, there should be a better way.

The company has mentioned previously that they were considering including the ability to provide suggestions based on matching a specific musical phrase, rhythmic pattern, or similar. I understand that some other programs may already have this capability.
