The Tracks tab is server-paginated (200 rows/page), so the new 8-option
sort dropdown (Default / Artist / Title / Year / Date added, mirroring
the Albums toolbar control) rides the SQL query through a validated
ORDER BY allowlist in search_with_filter_page (same pattern as the
albums page query), re-queries page 1 on change (gen-bumped, stale
in-flight pages drop), and persists in locallibrary_prefs. Every sort
key ends in id so LIMIT/OFFSET pagination is deterministic across
ties. The once-only Plex page-1 merge re-sorts client-side with a
comparator matching the SQL semantics. Group modes keep their
client-side visual reorder on top, unchanged. Zero new msgids — all
labels already exist.
