Sort Albums by Date

verolano · 2007-07-07, 23:32

Hi all,
is it possible to sort albums by years?
Normally I use Artist View with:
Artist --> List
Album --> Icons
Track --> List

In configuration for Album setting SortBy column to Date seems not working
all music files are in mp3 format with metadata
all metadata are imported into Music Database

Many thanks
PG

Hi.

This is exactly how I had Meedio running before I moved to MediaPortal.

I'm confused by the tags that are able to be used in the Music Views section. The Selection option lets you choose a tag named Year and the SortBy option lets you sort by a tag named Date. I'm not even sure what the Date tag is.

This was discussed last October - http://forum.team-mediaportal.com/vi...6.html?t=12306

Can anyone help with this please?

Cheers,
Roo.

I´m having the same Problem. I can`t sort bei filedate (%date%). With default entry %year% it works fine. But I would like to sort by file date, to be able to listen to the newest files...

Additionally, I tried to build an new music view "Genre by rating". I would like to selct genre first and getting a folder view with the 5 categories/folders (from 1 to 5 Stars). Thereby, i get the 5 folders, but they are all empty. The only thing i can achiev is one folder with one specified rating for my music files.

Regards,
Rainhelt

@ROO: As I said, default value for Date is the release date/yaer of your music.
