Sorry, but I just don't recall what options are there for custom fields in MJ8. MJ8s use of custom fields is fairly limited. There are many more options for using, creating, editing custom fields in MC9. Also, I think MJ8/MC9.0 don't really have a lot of ability for sorting when it comes to using dates. I believe the new MC9.1 beta has/will have many more date-related options.
What I want to do is get my music file dates off of the file itself and I can sort my listings that way.
When you say date, do you mean the date the file was created or just the release year of the album? The problem is that for the Date Created, Date Imported and Date Modified fields, MJ8/MC9.0 stores the date
and the time (06/05/2003 5:00 PM). So there is no way to sort just using the date.
