Incorrect Track Order on Streaming Music about chorus HOT 4 CLOSED

This is to do with the code in master/src/js/collections/xbmc.js

arg3: {"sort": {"method": "dateadded", "order": "descending"}}, // doesn't appear to work? maybe lost in sorting elsewhere

This parameter should not have the 'sort' key, it should just be
``arg3: {"method": "track"},`

The two other parameters do not use the similar keys (params and filters). I noticed this by looking at https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/blob/2228e7f209fbf244bb0f9da970903016395043f2/addons/webinterface.default/js/MediaLibrary.js

and have confirmed this working locally with

curl -v -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"AudioLibrary.GetSongs","id":"1412339052641","params":[["title","artist","albumartist","genre","year","rating","album","track","duration","playcount","fanart","thumbnail","file","albumid","lastplayed","disc","genreid","artistid","displayartist","albumartistid"],{"start":0,"end":500},{"method":"track"},{"albumid":60}]}' http://192.168.1.99:8080/jsonrpc

I'd do a PR but I haven't even got close to getting my head around the whole project and what else is using this code.

Is this related to the fact that if you use the Soundcloud plugin and click through to some channel, instead of getting the same listing as on the website, you get the first 40 items alphabetically sorted (and there is no way to get to recent stuff)?

@paulvt I don't think so. This issue is a bug in the Chorus implementation of the XBMC JSON-RPC API, in regard to one particular function call, getting the album song list with results with "no" sorting. Your issue sounds like it's with the Soundcloud plugin itself which doesn't appear to have been updated in many years.

I've just used the Soundcloud plugin using the normal interface on my media PC, there the listings are the same as on soundcloud (i.e. by descending order of publication date).
