[QUOTE="lostSoul99, post: 269310, member: 74848"] I think this is a much needed feature for anyone with 100's of movies in their database. I spent an hour searching through the latest Subversion tree structure on the source forge site and found the function that sorts by date. It's in mediaportal/WindowsPlugins/GUIVideoFiles/VideoSort.cs at the bottom. Seems like the case statement quits if the items it's sorting don't return FileInfo data. Meaning it doesn't even try to sort by date if you're not in the Shares View I think. What is needed is a new field in the movieinfo table of the database that's called dateAdded that stores "today's" date when a new movie is added. A lot of code will need to be modified including; the sort function, the database class, the scan movie folder function in both mediaportal and the configuration program and UI changes. I've never worked on an open source project before, but I'm willing to help out. Anyone with some experience, please message me with any helpful tips about this problem. [/QUOTE]
