Default Improvements on music views

I worked quite a lot on my music collection and have some suggestions for views improvements.
Overall the views are working fine
  1. Possibility to move views up/down
  2. Possibility to tick/untick (standard)views to show/not to show
  3. Possibility to group by decade like 60s, 70s
  4. Add more help text for the parameters

ad 1: I have created custom views like Artists A...Z and Title A...Z. These views only show up on page 2 of the context menue whereas Iīd like them to be in top position as they are my most used views

ad 2: Somehow I didnīt dare yet to delet one of the standard views like "artists", although I use artists A...Z which suits my needs better. But as I canīt restore the standard views, I didnīt do it. So maybe a tickbox could be added, if MP should actually show this view or not. This way one doesnīt need to delete the view but it doesnīt show up until you decide otherwise later on.

ad 3: I couldnīt manage to get a view like 60s, 70s.
I tried year "group" "3" which should give me 196x, 197x, etc. <- doesnīt work
I tried year "like" "197" to test if this returns all 70s songs, but it didnīt
I tried year "<=" 1970 which gave me all years, also > 1970

unless I overlooked the right way to achieve this, it is not possible at the moment.

-----------
and a possible bug (not tested intensively)
the standard "title" view shows a list based on file names
my custom created view Title A...Z title group 1 -> title -> artist
gives a list A,B,C...Z containing the title tags as it should be.

I use svn from this morning

P.S.: I really like the new grouping feature. Maybe consider to make this part of the standard views.
