categories-02

3.Enter a Name and, if desired, a Color for the new category.

4.Choose an option for Sort at midnight.
At midnight, the songs of the category are sorted according to three criteria:

 

-None
Songs are sorted always from the first to the last inserted in the category.

-Shuffle
Songs are sorted randomly.

-On air ASC
Songs are sorted by last on air date, placing on top those songs that have not been played in a long time.

 
The category order determines in which order the songs are analyzed during the on air rules verification, when the songs will be selected automatically, and therefore does not decide exactly what will be the next item to be transmitted. If you want this order to be the true order of airing when songs are selected from the category, you can enable the Excluded from rules option.

5.Click Ok.

categories-03
