Harmonic Key sorting is alphabetic = wrong

Sorting on the Key of the tracks sorts alphabetically, which is not what you would expect. Sorting should follow circle of fifths. Adding open key notation (numbers) would easily fix this issue. Because of this it's very hard to do harmonic mixing

@Yves > I've been mixing harmonically for years, I've never had any problems with how the CDJs or rekordbox display the information. If you can't memorize the wheel and which keys neighbour which, print it out and keep it handy - you'll always know what's compatible.

You just need maybe an external tool like mixed in key which saves key info in camelot format. Rekorbox reads that info and shows it correctly

Allright, I will look into that. Thanks!

indeed you can have an external software write the key but i bet that then the traffic light system on the nexus cdjs won't work. If i remember correctly somebody tested it, you can read the key in open key format or camelot on the cdjs but you lose the traffic light system.
