i have a view scheme
Genre/Album Artist (auto)/ Album
i added the sort modifier for year, hoping to see albums sorted by release yr instead of by name, when i clicked in the Album artist pane. But it still sorts albums by name.
What am i missing ? is it possible to have albums sorted by rls yr at all in this way ?
using MC 9.1.302

Make sure the modifier is written correctly. Copy this into your view scheme rule just to be sure.
~sort=[Date (year)]

Just in case it could be of your interest...
I have a very similar view scheme like yours but
Genre/Album Artist (auto)/ Year-Album/Name
As you see, instead of having the Album I have the Year-Album field in the pane. This way, I can have the albums sorted by year in the panes and, at the same time, sorted alphabetically in the lower view. I find this to be very convenient when you have a large number of albums of an artist... both for browsing the albums and to know if you have a specific album of that artist (for this purpose it's better looking for it alphabetically than chronologically).

Thanx for the replies...
My solution was to use to replace Album with Year-Album in the view scheme. There was no need to put sort in with this setup.
Genre/Album Artist (auto)/ Year-Album
works perfectly :)
