Auto Sort by Year

I'd like my iTunes to by default sort the albums from an artist, when viewing that artists little area (using the second view mode, whatever it's called), by year, instead of alphabetically. What I currently do is click on the year to sort it by year every time I open iTunes, but there's gotta be a better way. Any help? Thanks,
David

No, if you knew how to write scripts, you could make one to do it, though.

  • Sort by "Year" in "Genre View" in iTunes 11

    Not having a lot of luck with iTunes 11.
    I am deep with a large number of albums by certain Artist (The Beatles, The Rolling Stone, Van Morrison, etc.  ...). To manage my collection I have given (for example) "The Beatles" their own Genre. So, when I'm in "Genre View" I want my Beatle albums sorted by "Year" and not Alphabetical.
    Both "Genre View" and "Artists View" seem to be static and the number of sorting options are limited.
    I'm I missing something?

    You mean like that?

  • Play Order on Album Sort by Year Funk

    I was super pleased to find that iTunes 9.01 fixed the bug regarding sorting multi-disc albums while sorting album by year.
    However, now I'm noticing that when I'm playing an artist's discography, while sorted by year, instead of playing the albums in chronological order (like they've been visually sorted), it plays the albums in alphabetical order (default sort). So I could be playing an artists' first of five albums, but if the album name starts with a 'Z' then it will just stop the playlist all together, as if the end of said playlist has been reached.
    Also, does anyone else who sorts by year find it annoying that iTunes finds it prudent to always switch back to sorting by album alphabetically whenever I'm not looking? I find that quite annoying.
    Any ideas? Thoughts? Thanks!

    Oh poop. I just updated the two extensions "I Love Stars" and "Cover Stream."
    I'm no longer having problems with my music stopping after 'all' of an artists' music plays 'all' through. But still, anyone else having similar issues?

  • Sorting Same Year Albums

    Hello, I have looked for a solution, and so far nothing. Hope someone can help me here!
    Here's my situation. I have separate Smart Playlists for my Artists, and I sort by year within them for the artist's chronological library of songs. Here's the issue: I have an instance or two where the artist released two albums in the same year (in this case - KISS released self-titled album "KISS" and "Hotter Than ****" both in 1974).
    And again in this instance, it places these albums in Alphabetical view based on album title. This causes Hotter Than **** to be placed first, which isn't correct.
    Is there a way to either refine for more precise release date, or a totally different way of going by this?
    Any help would rock

    I've had this problem too.
    I solved it by entering a new value in the Album sorting field.
    Select all songs > get info > Sorting
    Note: The album title will still show as "Kiss".

  • How can I auto-sort with each new entry

    I'm looking for a formula, a script, or automator service that will allow me to auto-sort by column every time I change an entry.
    My spreadsheet uses steppers. I want to automatically sort the column every time I increase the stepper.
    I'd prefer not to right click on the column to sort.
    any help?

    Not possible within your data table (the ne in which the stepper is changed), but a second table could show the sorted results, and be automatically updated whenever the steper in the first table is changed.
    Here's an example:
    The image above shows the starting position. Column A of "Data" contains the stepper cells.
    Column B, which may be hidden, contains a formula which modifies the stepper value to ensure that each cell contains a value unique within that column by adding a fractional amount dependent on the row in which the conversion is done. The value used in the formula (1000) will work for up to about 490 rows before rounding (used in the first column of the "Sorted" table) will return a result different from the integer value of the stepper. For more rows, replace 1000 with a larger number.
    Data::B2, and filled down: =A2+ROW()/1000
    The second table, "Sorted" sorts the rows of Data using the values in column B as the sort key. Sorted contains one formula, filled into every body cell on the table, and modified in column A:
    Sorted::A2, filled right: =VLOOKUP(SMALL(Data :: $B,ROW()-1),Data :: $B:$E,COLUMN())
    After filling right, modify the formula in A2 by adding ROUND( in front of VLOOKUP and ,0) after COLUMN())
    Sorted A2: =ROUND(VLOOKUP(SMALL(Data :: $B,ROW()-1),Data :: $B:$E,COLUMN()),0)
    Select cells A2:D2, then Fill down.
    In the image below, the stepper in row 10, which held 9 originally, has been stepped down to 4. There is no change in the order of the table "Data", but "Sorted" automatically resorts the rows to match the new stepper value:

  • Sorting the year without affecting the tracks

    How do I sort the year from most recent to oldest without affecting the order of the tracks?

    The most recent albums at the top of the list is "last is listed on top", and apparently Apple has not set up a sub filter to list albums "last on top" while listing tracks "first on top".
    If you list Albums "first on top" then the tracks will also be "first on top".
    Yeah it's kinky.
    At the top of iTunes, click iTunes/Provide iTunes Feedback. Tell Apple what you think.

  • How to auto sort photo by face or date ?

    How can i auto sort my photos by date or by face "like android sys" or even by event , its too hard to organize my photos and my vid's . Could any one can help me ???

    You can not  --  neither automatically or manually - you should never be in the masters folder and there is never a need to be - iPhoto is a SQLite database and it's database structure is determined by it (and changes from time to time) - use the supported access methods (direct access to the photo files is not supported and never has been) - either using iPhoto or using the media browser in the lower left hand corner of every open/attach/iupload window
    It is CRITICAL that you NEVER make any changes of any sort to the structure or content of the iPhoto library using the finder or any program other than iPhoto

  • Auto sort problems

    Hi, I have itunes auto sorting my library but it is not consistent. I have 2 CDs that I imported from the NOW! series. It sorted one by Author and created a Now! folder under each one for the 20 authors on the CD. For the other CD, it left all the songs under a COMPILATIONS\NOW folder?
    Any idea why the two were treated differently?

    One set of songs was marked as a compilation, the other was not. But this is easy to change, just select all the songs in the album (hold ctrl while clicking the songs to select multiple), then right click one of the songs and select "Get Info". In the screen that comes up, change the compilation flag to "yes" and it will set all those songs as compilations, thus putting them in the compilations directory.

  • Flex Advanced datagrid Auto-sort Disable

    is there any way to remove the auto-sorting in advanceddatagrid in flex 3. i need columns to get sorted only on clicking of headers not with the change of value in editable ADG.

    Alright guys I got the answer. The previous coder was using AdvancedDataGridColumnGroup unnecessarily.
    The ADGColumnGroup has a default behavior of not showing sort arrow.
    So the answer is to use ADGColumn.

  • How can I do auto-sort-by-name

    In previous PSE(8/9/10), after change to folder view in EO, the files/Photo in folder selected will be sorted automatically by name, but I cannot sort by other methods (no [Sort By]).
    However, in PSE11, folder view has gone. I can sort by Newest, Oldest and Import Batch. but I want to know how can I do auto-sort-by-name?

  • ITunes 11 needs to fix how it sorts "By Year"

    I always organize my music by year, followed "By Title". And each album has songs that were released a year later from the time the whole album was released. Unlike before, iTunes sorts by year BASED ON THE FIRST TRACK. That is no longer the case. Any other song that has a year above iTunes will sort to base on that.
    For example, Olly Murs' debut album release year is 2010 though track no.4 "Busy" was released in 2011. iTunes will sort the album by year according to track no.4 as if the entire album was released in 2011 when the other tracks are 2010.Now all my albums are not in their yearly order.
    Apple, please fix this and sort by the first track's order.

  • Sorting By Year Released

    Hello,
    Within iTunes playlists I want to sort by "Year" in descending order, so that the newest album appears at the top of the playlist. But for some reason when I do that it then displays the tracks in descending order, which makes no sense.
    Is there a way to sort it so that the newest album is as the top but the tracks are still in ascending order (1, 2, 3, instead of 3,2,1)?
    Thanks
    G

    I know. Smart Playlists are OK, but you get a limited number of fixed sort orders, and reversing them isn't album sensitve. I'd also like raw SQL (like) Playlists where you get to play with subfield ordering too.
    You could drop a line to iTunes Feedback.

  • Auto sort in display:table?

    Hi, I hope im in the right forum... Here is my question, can I auto sort a display:table tag? Or can I call the sorting of a table without clicking tha table name? Thx...

    For calculating column level total, you can get the handle to the row that you have tabbed out. Check the following code
    In CO
    else if ("calculate".equals(pageContext.getParameter(OAWebBeanConstants.EVENT_PARAM))){
    //get the Unique Row Reference for the Row on which the Even has been
    //generated.
    String lineRefId = (String)pageContext.getParameter(OAWebBeanConstants.EVENT_SOURCE_ROW_REFERENCE);
    Serializable [] param={lineRefId};
    //Call the AM method deleteInvoiceLine to delete the Invoice Lines
    am.invokeMethod("calculate",param);
    IN AM
    public void calculate(String lineRefId){
    //Fid the VORowImpl using the Unique Row
    // Reference
    LineVORowImpl lineRow = (LineVORowImpl)findRowByRef(lineRefId);
    //Now you can get the various attributes of this row
    xxx= lineRow.getXXX(); //Please take care of the Type casting
    yyy=lineRow.getYYY(); //Please take care of the Type casting
    //do the calculations and then set the values for the respective attributes.
    lineRow.setZZZ(abc);
    }

  • How to disable auto-sort for AdvancedDataGrid

    Hello,
    I am using Flex 4, ActionScript 3.
    I want to disable auto-sort. Meaning I want the sort to be executed only when the user clicks the column header, not when new rows are added to the binded collection or when values are changed.
    So far, I've found only this on the Internet:
    http://]http://tomek.me/disable-sort-on-datagrid-edit-update/
    I'd like to avoid doing that if possible.
    Many months ago, I found a solution that involved using event.preventDefault() placed somewhere. I thought I wouldn't have a problem finding it again, but I am.
    Can someone please help? Thanks!
