JSON - Sort Method Query. - Fergus - 2020-02-17

I'm going cross-eyed reading the Wiki and getting nowhere, so wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction.

I can issue the following request to return all of my albums, sorted by artist:

Code:

http://192.168.1.4:8080/jsonrpc?request={"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"audioLibrary.GetAlbums","params":{"sort":{"order":"ascending","method":"artist","ignorearticle":true},"properties":["artist"]},"id":1}

But I can't figure out what sort method to use if I want to return all of my albums sorted primarily by artist and then, secondarily, by year.

Can anyone put me out of my misery?

Many thanks in advance,

Fergus.

You can't sort by that directly from json. The best you can do is sort the result returned by year. The fields you can use are defined here -> https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/master/xbmc/interfaces/json-rpc/schema/types.json#L103
