The problem exists apart from a special scraper. I use different scrapers and for any of them it sets the "release date" to the "date added". The resolution shown here is a workaround, I guess.
Maybe the method is designed the way that it first adds the added-date to the release-date field and later overwrites this field with the real one. But that does not happen because of the expression that prevents overwriting.
Edit: I forgot to mention I tested IMDB+, Filminfo+ and Local Scrapers (Ember + XBMC). The XML files are OK.
Thanks for you reply. One more silly question: how can I work around this when I do not use IMDB+ Plugin?
Why: I recently switched to movie folders managed by Ember and want to import the movie info from nfo files in local folders. That's much faster and more reliable - apart from this release-date issue ;-)
Again, thanks for your reply!
I'm using the XBMC (Local) plugin (sorry that I did not state this before).
I did search for scripts in the file system that I could eventually change but sadly did not find anything. So I guess it's somehow compiled in and depends on the correct behavior of the importer.
the fact that this bug effects all scrapers - even the ones built in - leads me to the opinion that it would be better to fix the importer itself.
The "fix" mentioned above is just a workaround to circumvent the broken importer. RoChess mentioned that "MovPic search node is broken". But at this point I'm completely out of discussion ;-)
Merlyn copied a lot from IMDb+ when he created FilmInfo+ for German users which is now critical with imdb.de being cancelled, so structure should be the same. The only exception is that I went one step further with IMDb+ plugin to control the settings, and offer auto-update on the scraper-script, and rename files.
Yes, unfortunately, this would need a code change to support it.
Next time I'm doing something on the plugin I'll try and remember to add support for this sort order.

I was wondering if there is anyone who might be able to help me out.
Is there a way to either use the sort feature and/or a...

Thank for your reply.
I just happened to need to add another movie into that folder, when I did that, MovPictures automatically picked up the other movie.
