LB-1868: Allow import from Maloja export files https://tickets.metabrainz.org/browse/LB-1868

is this sorting method for displaying albums on purpose 😆 seems odd

i agree it's not perfect, but it's really not quite how your arrow shows either, is it? even columns aren't inverted in the way your arrow would suggest if these are sorted by date

I think some of the reason is because of the CSS grid system used for this grid layout.... (full message at <https://matrix.chatbrainz.org/_matrix/media/v3/download/chatbrainz.org/BbxumrbkVODoxGtbtYjjRbAG>)

Because it's scrollable I can understand trying to get it to sort in the direction of the scroll, but I think introducing the second row kind of throws that off... I hadn't looked at the discography for artists much on LB, but I just saw one where it was a single scrollable row; that makes perfect sense to me. Where it fills multiple though, I just saw one where the Single section was hiding every other entry because I hadn't

clicked "See full discography" which I would have assumed was hiding only older stuff or other categories if I hadn't already been apart of this conversation

Would it be too much trouble to have it be a single scrollable row (perhaps up to a defined scrollable max count) and then offer a "see more/all" button that would expand it to as many rows (sorted instead left to right then top to bottom) as are necessary to show all for that section? I'm trying to come up with ways that keep a more immediately understandable sort pattern but don't also require massive screen real estate unless

someone opts into that
