Author Topic: Need to Sort/Group different Albums with same name but different year of release  (Read 409 times)

I have many Albums in my library which have the same name but are different movies with different year of releases.One obvious way of separating them would be to append their names itself  with number. Pics 2 and pic 3 show such examples of "Casino Royale" and "The Killers" respectively.  For Example for Casino Royale(1967) and Casino Royale(2006), i could rename them as Casino.Royale.1 and Casino.Royale.2  respectively and they would then get sorted as two different albums.This is illustrated in the snapshot pic 1 where the film "Dhoom" series is listed  as Dhoom.1 . Dhoom.2 and Dhoom.3 for different releases of the series although there is no official name such as Dhoom.1 . For cases where the original name does not have series number, is there another smart way to separate the two albums without changing their names. For sorting this is what i mandatorily require(in order of priority): .(1) First the albums should be sorted by name(A-Z)  and inside the albums , all songs should be listed/sorted by name in ascending order. these two criteria are already satisfied in my library view. In current example,what i would desire  further is to list Casino Royale (1967) release separate and earlier in the list than Casino Royale(2006) and that the two albums should count as separate entities in my total album count as shown in the tree in the left pane i.e. Blu-ray.Dance&Song(1345) . In this case the corrected count should be 1346. Is it possible by a smart choice of expression ?

The only practical solution to the above case would be to append numbers like Casino.Royale.1 and Casino.Royale.2 for different movie releases with same title . :)
