Sort albums by year

[Tim Curtis]

In version 6 this part code has been rewritten and needs to be changed:

up to 5:
$album = $flatData['Album'] ? $flatData['Date'] . ' - ' . $flatData['Album'] : 'Unknown';

6 and newer (I guess):
'album' => ($flatData['Album'] ? $flatData['Date'] . ' - ' . $flatData['Album'] : 'Unknown'),

Hi,

After looking at the code, the new library loader actually makes grouping by date pretty easy so I'm thinking of including it in the moOde 6.3.0 release (sometime in October).

It will probably be a dropdown in Library Options.

Album grouping: [by Artist         ]
- by Artist
- by Album
- by Year

To deal with album tracks that have different years, the code will select either the highest or the lowest year. I'm not sure which is best yet.

Questions:

1. Use highest or lowest year?
2. Display year underneath the cover?
