The existing sort styles are useful, but at least the latter two seem somewhat arbitrary:

  • "tree" is clear, and may be best for people (like me) who are reasonably "picky" about how their music is organized on disk.
    • (except there is no option to see track number, it is used for sort only? Or is sort by filename?)
  • "folder" at first seems clear (flattened tree / leaf folders), except it also somewhat-opinionatedly subgroups by artist (but not album??)
  • "artist" also, when compared with "folder" you would assume it has all the songs of the artist in one pile, but it turns out this one does subgroup by album.

I see the possibility of introducing a "genre" grouping is already noted in the README.md (but not todo.txt?) - it seems that making the grouping definitions customizable would be a worthwhile investment...

"Power users" would be able to add or modify their own options, and ideally even disable/hide options that don't make sense to them, somewhere in advanced settings (but the quick pick list would still be simple/uncluttered and out of the box there would still be a small number of simple options there)

First, thanks to use my app and trying to improve it.

Sorted by track number and then by filename if track number not present in ID3 tag.

Yes, choose what to put in the pick list can be easily implemented.
Customizable group can be done too, don't remember if it is easy (and quick) to do.

I cannot garantee you when I'll start to implement all your request !! :-)

Perhaps it would be a good idea to document this in the app's help page? Or the Readme file?
