Topic: First Seen date sort issue

This topic is old and might contain outdated or incorrect information.

Hello,
When I tag a song as "First Seen" with a date earlier than a certain year, it doesn't SORT the songs correctly by that field.

If I tag one as First Seen 1957, it sorts correctly. But if I tag a song as Frist Seen 01/17/1937, it will SORT as First Seen more RECENTLY than songs with today's date.

See screenshot for example:


I use the First Seen date as I'm sorting music, I find it more accurate than using the Year field.

It's also putting 1942 as seen earlier, so the date is somewhere between 1942 and 1957.

you should be tagging with this format

YYYY/MM/DD

so this date 01/17/1937

would get tagged like this in VDJ 1937/01/17

that is if you expect it to sort properly :-)

If you see my screenshot, that's how they're set.

Good point, that is very small text in the screen cap!
