Feature request: Group By sorting for date imported
« on: July 14, 2011, 07:46:38 am »

I was hoping there was someting I had missed in regards of using the Group By in an album view, while maintaining the sorting as Date Imported, but seems like this issue has been on the table a couple of times earlier.

Would you reconsider one of the following:
a) Ability to specify sorting separatly of the Group By field
I guess a suitable way to determin sorting is by calculating group average of the desired sort field

b) Ability to select Group By -> Album (Date Imported)
Not very flexible, but in my opinion at least more interesting than Album (date)


The reason of the request is that I currently use this expression for Group By, to achieve this somewhat:
FormatDate([Date Imported, 0], yyyy-MM-dd)> [Album Artist (auto)] - [Album] ([Year])

The problem with this expression is that I have some files which has not been imported together with the rest of the album (separate buy). And Import Date is not editable, so it ends up a bit ugly for these cases.
