I'm trying to create a playlist which has the last 200 tracks imported with a certain rating. The rating part is easy and I found some posts which highlight the fact that [Date Imported] is really a datetime stamp and can't be used for sort purposes so I created a new calculated field with this formula:
formatdate([date imported,0],yyyy//MM//dd)
If I create a playlist with just my rating criteria and use the newly column header to sort, then I see all the tracks I recently imported that I expect to be there. For example, I see 105 tracks added since Dec 1st with a rating of 4 or higher. However, as soon as I add a Limited Number To=200, then most new tracks disappear and I end up with older tracks from months ago. In this case, I only see 9 tracks added since Dec 1st with a rating of 4 or higher.
So, it definitely seems to be the sorting logic, but I don't fully understand why.
Here are the modifiers:
Sort By = ~sort=[Import Date] -d
Limit Number To = 200
Any ideas?

Check this first: ~sort=[Import Date] -d
There should not be a space between the field and the 'descending' instruction.
~sort=[Import Date]-d
If it's not as simple as that, shout back and we'll get it sorted.
