I'm getting some wierd behaviour on 2 machines, both running build 50. All this is happening within Theater View. All I'm trying to do is get a simple "Recently Added" view for audio albums, with the most recently added albums shown first. On opening the album, the tracks should be in the track number sequence. Simple stuff?
So I've got a rule of item imported in the last 10 days, with a "modify results" of sort by Date Imported (z-a). And them an item of Album, which has an edit setting saying that it is sorted by Date Imported. So far so good, and in theater view, the correct albums are selected, in the correct sequence.
But when I open an album, the tracks are in some strange sequence. Definitely not track sequence, or name, or filename. My guess is that they are in date imported sequence at he lowest level of detail/granularity. Some albums appearto be in near reverse sequence, suggesting that the Date Imported field is in milliseconds.
To test this, I've created a new field called Day Imported, which has an expression of formatdate([date imported,0],date), and substituting this in my view gives the right results. This seems a long way around, is there an easier way? Is there a way of forcing the Date imported field for all of the tracks in an album to be the same value?
