Has anyone updated to iTunes 7.3 yet? If not, I wouldn't recommend it. It has lots of problems. Apparently they rushed it out for the iPhone and ended up breaking things. But of course I just blindly updated... I'm having a problem with it that I haven't seen anyone talk about in the iLounge or Apple forums. One known issue is that sort order is broken so that numbers now appear at the end of the list (after letters) instead of the beginning. This is really pissing a lot of people off. But I'm having another sort problem. If I go in and change the Sort Artist, and then do an Apply Same Field to Sort Artist, it correctly changes all the appropriate Sort Artist field on all the artist's tracks to be the same. However, it doesn't actually change the track in the browser (etc) to be in the new place until I go in and manually edit the track and hit the OK or Next button (without having to change anything). When I manually edit the track, I can see Sort Artist is correct and has the new value; it's just not re-sorting on it until I manually OK each track that it changed. Only that first track is in the new place. It definitely did not work this way before. It's like the live re-ordering is broken. It's a real pain to have to go in and manually "edit" each track, especially if there's a lot of them for the artist. This is a big issue for me right now since my big iTunes project is to re-do the artist names from "Last, First" to "First Last" and set Sort Artist to "LastFirst". So, has anyone else here upgraded to 7.3 and is having this same problem? Or is it just me? If you've upgraded to 7.3 can you check and see for me? Is there any way around it? Not even sorting on a different field and back again, or getting out of iTunes and back in, makes it reset the displayed sort order. Thanks.

I'll see that problem and raise you the fact that on my machine, it occasionally has changed the text in the artist sort field to something entirely random. My favorite so far was it somehow changing the artist sort on Lee Konitz from Konitz, Lee to "mushroom". Yes, including the quotes.
