I can confirm that running two user commands with variations of tbone's [SelectEx](https://resource.dopus.com/t/command-selectex-extended-select-command/20517/1) Script Addon from a button doesn't work. Only the first one will be executed. Here are two examples:

User command 1:`var cmd = DOpus.Create.Command
var jsFilter = ""+
	"if (item.metadata == 'audio'){ "+
		"var year = new String(item.metadata.audio['mp3year']);"+
		"var int = parseInt(year);"+
		"if (int < 1980) return false;"+
		"}";
	cmd.RunCommand('Delete coll://Oldies REMOVECOLLECTION=auto QUIET')
	cmd.RunCommand('SelectEx LINEAR '+
		'PATH="'+DOpus.FSUtil.Resolve('/mymusic')+'" RECURSE JSFILTER="'+jsFilter+'" '+
		'ITEMCOUNTPERC=100 '+
		'COPYTOCOLL=Oldies '+
		'TOFILE="'+DOpus.FSUtil.Resolve('/temp\\Oldies.m3u')+'" '+
		'COMMANDS=Go coll://Oldies')
	cmd.RunCommand('Set SORTBY=+mp3year(0)')`  
User command 2:`var cmd = DOpus.Create.Command
var jsFilter = ""+
	"if (item.metadata == 'audio'){ "+
		"var genre = new String(item.metadata.audio['mp3genre']);"+
		"if (genre.indexOf('Pop') !=-1) return false;"+
		"}";
	cmd.RunCommand('Delete coll://PopColl REMOVECOLLECTION=auto QUIET')
	cmd.RunCommand('SelectEx LINEAR '+
		'PATH="'+DOpus.FSUtil.Resolve('/mymusic')+'" RECURSE JSFILTER="'+jsFilter+'" '+
		'ITEMCOUNT=1000 '+
		'COPYTOCOLL=PopColl'+
		'TOFILE="'+DOpus.FSUtil.Resolve('/temp\\PopColl.m3u')+'" '+
		'COMMANDS=Go coll://PopColl')
	cmd.RunCommand('Set SORTBY=+mp3genre(0)')`
