Title: Chronological Sorting of Artists/Albums
Post by: JohanJooste on November 14, 2013, 04:43:14 am

Hi, please advise if its possible to sort Albums by Artist in order of release date without adding the release date to the start of the Albumname
eg. The Dark Side of the Moon Pink Floyd as apposed to 1973 The Dark Side of the Moon Pink Floyd - and then transfer that to the iPod in
that order.

Currently when transferring to the iPod the sorting order is in alphabetical order not chronological.

Regards

Try this expression:

Code: [Select]

[album] - [artist]&datatype=[year]

Code: [Select]

[album] - [artist]&datatype=[date]This is an easy method to what you ask.
You can change the field with what you think suit you better.

This method it can be used on grouping files as like you mention, but now depends on what do you need to be sorted.
For grouping, you need to create an new field, and insert this code on the bottom of the field where it allow you, and after that go on desire view select grouping by... select your new field and they are grouped.
