Feature Request: Custom "Sort"/grouping styles #29

@TaoK

Description

@TaoK

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)
