Just figured out another way to have secondary sorting but this time done by Serato.
-
Open Serato DJ and select the desired crate. For this example, we’ll just call it Crate A to keep it simple. Once you’re in Crate A, set up your preferred way of sorting (for me it’s BPM > Key)
-
Make a new empty crate, (we’ll call it Crate B to keep the explanation simple)
-
Go back to Crate A, select all tracks, then drag and drop the tracks to Crate B.
-
Inside of Crate B, MAKE SURE that you have sorting set to the “#” column with no secondary sorting enabled. This will retain the sorting you set from the other crate but the music will now also be numbered accordingly.
-
Close Serato, Open Denon Engine
-
Import Crate B as a playlist, leave sorting on track order / #
Boom. Rinse, lather, repeat as needed for your other crates (Denon I love you but please make an update to fix sorting on Engine )
