What I'd really like to figure out is how to get the middle lists to follow the sorting described in the focused playlists, specifically for year because top250 and sorttitle already work. And to get my substring based on focused playlist to work for my visible. Those 2 things about all I can think of to make this view complete!

Now have no idea if this will work, but you could try assigning $INFO[Container.SortMethod] to a skin string and then in your content tag for the middle list, use the skin string as a parameter for the content tags sort order. This is getting into ‘deep magic’ territory and the ‘DEVS’ tm, may not be pleased. I think I will stand back a bit and watch for the lightning strike.

All fun aside, here is a small hint that might help in your endeavours. Try to see what Kodi is assigning to $INFO’s. Previously I just used label commands displyed somewhere on screen to see the state of an $INFO I was interested in, but there is addon available that you can use to show this information in a web browser which is damned handy. Will see if I can’t find a link to it here in the forum when I get to my main system instead of this silly iPad I’m on at the moment.
