Description Alexander Kojevnikov 2009-04-02 03:23:21 UTC 
This is an offshoot of bug 544758.

It would be nice to have an option to sort the track list taking into account the album release date or alphabetically (as it is now).

I will add a patch that sorts the track list by year, the option still needs to be added.

Hmm, CCing myself apparently didn't help remind me.  Anyway, I'm downloading the patch now.

Maybe change the pref wording to "Sort an artist's albums by year, not title", or something else?

Done, that makes is more clear indeed.

Thanks, committed!
Comment 9 Robin Stocker 2010-04-01 08:38:39 UTC 
When selecting an artist in the artist browser, the albums in the album browser are still sorted by title, not year (even if the preference is on).

Wouldn't it make sense to also respect that preference in the album browser? From the wording of the preference, I would expect it to also apply to the album browser.
