Hi,
Order of sorting in the columns of the browser:
sort by priority1:
browser_sort "+bpm"
then sort priority2:
browser_sort "+lenght"
What is the command that pre-sorts by BPM and then sub-sorts by time?
I can't get the staggering right.

other way round, the last sort you perform is the primary order
 
Does not answer my question.
To make it clear:
Primary sorting BPM:
125 5:34
125 3:50
126 2:58
127 4:12
127 9:10
127 3:44
130 3:26
Keep primary sorting BPM!
Secondary sorting TIME:
125 3:50
125 5:34
126 2:58
127 3:44
127 4:12
127 9:10
130 3:26
 
browser_sort "+length" & browser_sort "+bpm"
primary bpm, secondary length

works fine here, in your OP you typo'd "length", it might have been that
 
Keep in mind that bpm are sorted exactly down to the last decimal.
So 128.01 bpm will still come after 128.00 bpm

Thanks, very important and useful hint
 
Related question: What is the default browser sort for the track list. One would think it was the track number but it's not. How to sort by track number?
 
Default Sort order is "no sort order", by using setting --> browser : keepSortOrder on , the last state can be kept
To sort by track number, (or any other field) right click the column header, add the column "Track" (or the other one) and click it to sort, click again to reverse sort order
 
Thank you so much. This post was a great help in solving my problem!!
 
Not to hijack this thread - but along the same lines

If you’re sorting by color - is there any way to specify the order?

Like

All the red tracks
Followed by blue tracks
Followed by yellow tracks

Etc

Thx
