Author Topic: Change sort order of a specific album  (Read 2318 times)

I have some albums from the same artist that are released in the same year but are not listed in chronological order because they are listed alphabetically.  I absolutely cannot figure out how to reorder them.

Example:


Infestissumam was released before If You Have Ghost.  I've tried playing around with those sorting tags or whatever but nothing happens.  Help please?

TIA

The simplest thing would be to change the Sort Album value to reflect the order they were released. For instance:

1 - Infestissumam
2 - If You Have Ghost

I tried something like that before but it wasn't working for some reason.  I'm probably dumb.  :-\  It's sorted now, thank you.

You can add the month and the day after the year to sort it more precisely (yyyy-mm-dd).

For instance, the year tag for Infestissumam would be 2013-04-09 and the tag for if You Have Ghost would be 2013-11-19.

After you do that, the albums will sort by full date, then alphabetically.
