Album Sort Order in Views
« on: June 18, 2005, 08:47:21 am »

I hope this is an easy question but I just can't figure it out.

In Artist/Album view schemes is it possible to control the order in which the Album nodes appear.  I would like the to appear in chronological order rather than alphabetical.

ie.

My tree looks like this:

Artist/Album
--U2
------Achtung Baby
------All that You Cant Leave Behind
------Best of 1980-1990
...   
(Alphabetical Order)


I would like it read

--U2
-----Boy
-----October
-----War
...

Which is chronological order by release date.  I just can't figure out how to make it look like that.

Thanks for any help!

That works!

In fact, once I set up the Custom Field, I noticed a field already existed called [Year - Album] which did the exact same thing, so I used it.

Does anyone know of any way to do this so the year of the album does not display?  I use this to serve an MP101 which has a small LCD screen and I'd like to avoid taking up the screen with the year if possible....

Not possible to do a custom sort in the panes yet unless you use the method described above by Lisa.

You can however sort the part below the panes any way you like.
