Title: Attention needed on dates
Post by: Marty3d on March 28, 2006, 04:52:00 pm

I created a view scheme for movies based on [Date Imported], for use within Theater View, since I usually want to watch recently imported movies and in order to quickly access those, I used this view. It takes a few clicks to drill down to year > month ...and some scrolling, but it's ok.

Now I tried to make it sort by latest imported / year-month, but it doesn't work at all:
1. In Edit view..., the only field I have is a custom one, all other settings untouched:
FormatDate([Date Imported,0],yyyy-MM)

2. In Customize Current View..., I show the standard fields + [Date imported]. Here, if I try to set sorting by Z-A: Date imported, and nothing else, the result is nothing! MC sorts by some default by Name ASC.

If I try to make a sort in the search field within Edit View..., MC sorts by Name ASC, Date Imported DESC.

Theater View and the panes will always sort a-z.  This is not currently configurable.

Thanks for your reply Matt. But you know, the file list beneath the panes...it doesn't neither. Either of the sorting methods I try results in sorting by (Name ASC) or (Name ASC, Date Imported DESC), not (Date Imported DESC).
