Hi,

When creating a smart playlist the "ORDER BY" option is not working, you can select an option like "first played" and press add but nothing happends and it doesn't get added.
So you cannot sort a smart playlist, was trying to do the following:

1. Create smart playlist to select episodes that have been aired in the last month.
Then set the "ORDER BY" option to First aired.

2. There isn't the option Descending/Ascending by the "ORDER BY" in the smart playlists like in PM3.

Also when i create the smart playlist in another skin it works in that skin(sorts by first aired in descending), but it doesn't work in rapier(sorts by episode - the default).
Hope this can be resolved Big Grin

You have to change the sort mode to "Playlist" for the sorting to take effect.

Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search the forum before posting.
Do not e-mail XBMC-Team members directly asking for support. Read/follow the forum rules.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please make sure you read this first.

The problem is that you can't change sort mode to "Playlist". "Playlist" doesn't exist. Only applies to the Rapier skin.
