Can you sort albums by release date, rather than year, in album view?

I love the new album view in iTunes 11, but the only problem I have with it is sometimes albums are in the wrong order.
For example, last year Green Day released a trilogy of albums called ¡Uno!, ¡Dos! and ¡Tré! but since they were released in the same year, they're ordered as ¡Dos!, ¡Tré, ¡Uno! when sorted by artist and then year which really doesn't sit right with me.
In short, the sorting options for albums view are very limited, is there any way to extend them?
Also I'm aware that I could, as a cheap fix, change the sorting in album to the release date backwards, but I'd rather not do that as it would make it a bit more troublesome for me to navigate my albums on my iPhone.
Thanks!

I agree that Apple should improve the year field to be an actual date.
I am not 100% happy doing this, but when you have multiple albums from a single artist for the same release year, a temporary solution is to chage the album title by adding an outline type letter before album titles for that year, so that they appear in the correct order:
David Bowie
1977
a. Low
David Bowie
1977
b. "Heroes"
etc
This could help in the short term until Apple changes that field.

When in the bookstore, can you sort books by release date

Often times find an author and ey have multiple books, some might have 10 or 20. I want to read them in order or maybe I just want the latest. It seems they are displayed with no rhyme or reason that I can see. Is there any way to sort them by release date?

Order by date rather than year

Hi,
I am printing a report which pulls data from Oracle 8i through JSP.
My SQL query is:
String sql="SELECT first_name,last_name, to_char(birth_date,'MM/DD/YYYY') as smthng";
sql+=" FROM personnel";
sql+=" ORDER BY birth_date";
Now this query orders the results by year, then month and then day.
What I mean is If I have values(mm/dd/yyyy format):
06/20/1978, 06/15/2002, 06/01/1990
it will show them as:
06/20/1978,06/01/1990, 06/15/2002
What I need is this form(order by days only and not to worry about year)
06/01/1990,06/15/2002,06/20/1978
Any idea if I can do that without storing them into array and parsing them and then comparing.

I don't know if Oracle will let you sort by an alias but you might
try...
"ORDER BY smthng"

How can I sort literature by release date?

I have the new rendering engine activated. How can I get a simple sort of my media downloads? Alphabetical is limiting.
{module_literature filter="classified" itemId="53502" }

Hi Mary,
If you want to display the latest items in a category classification you can use filter="latestClassified" otherwise, just filter="latest". Here is the link to the module_literature parameters for more configuration options: Developer reference

How can you sort an album that was released in 2007 but has 80s music on

I have v8 of iTunes, almost completed all my tagging how I want it in iTunes for all my music
I have a query though, I have a 80s, 90s smart playlist.
I have recently got an album that was released in 2007, so the year in my library is 2007, however all the music on that album is from the 80s.
So can you tag with 2 years, ie Album release date and song release (original date) or can you sort the album to show its songs from the 80s.
Someone must have the same issue, especially from compilation albums
please help
cheers

ahh, was hoping it may have had a "overall" year or album year release date.
Man that means I gotta tag a lot of my music with the correct year now then, as the compilation albums I got all tagged form web with year released
Whats the best way to get the year of the songs then please? is there an easy way? Ive got a lot of songs to do now
cheers

Can i upload first Transaction data rather than master data what will hap

hai,
can i upload first Transaction data rather than master data what happends going in bw regarding performance issues like indexes
let me know
regards,
murali

Hi Murali,
you can load the transaction data before master data. The main impact will be, that the system has to generate sid's and has to populate the sid-table of the master data objects while loading the data to a data target (cube or ods that is activated for bex reporting). This basically means that your data loads will take some more time. Additionally, if you need the master data attributes somewhere in your update or transfer rules, you will not get the correct information.
So basically it is always a good approach to load and activate the master data before loading the transactional data. But anyway, specially in the development environment I usually don't load all the necessary master data.
regards
Siggi
PS: navigational attributes of the data targets will not be available until you loaded the master data and scheduled the attribute and hierarchy change run.

How can you save an app's data?

Hi, how can you save an app's data? For example, if I want to switch some applications on my iPod with those were on my iTunes Apps Library, iTunes will force to remove the apps that was on my device and sync the apps that I want onto my iPod. But once the app is removed from my iPod, its data will be erased too, so, for example months later, I want to put them back onto my iPod, I will lose all the apps data and games progress. So, I just want to know the way that people save their apps data.

Yo can't. apps are locked to the account thatpurchased them and in-app purchases can only be mad with the account that originally purchased the app.
You will have to recover use of the first account

There is no generic SQL way for this. It depends completely on the features your DBMS offers. With Oracle you'd need to create column which gets updated in a trigger. I believe MS SQL Server offers a special data type for this, which is updated automatically. I don't know about others.

Can I sort Reminders by due date in IOS 8?

Can I sort Reminders by due date in IOS 8?

So true! I have to agree: "It appears Reminders in 10.8 did not get a whole lot of thought put into it regarding how folks actually use reminders."
With Mountain Lion, Reminders no longer resembles a task-management (to-do) app in any way. I used to be able to limp along using it for my to-dos (although it never did accommodate this need well). This upgrade has made Reminders completely unusable for task management.
Once I got over my disappointment, I did some research and decided to try "Things." This application has all the functionality I've been wanting all along. It has a Mac version, an iPhone version, and an iPad version (among others)--and it keeps all devices synched via the Cloud (just not the iCloud ... but who needs the i ?). I wish I'd discovered it years ago. I'm glad now that Mountain Lion put Reminders over the edge; otherwise, I would not have made this discovery.
"Things" (oddly named though it is) comes close to the old Franklin planner software I used to love and haven't been able to find a substitute for. It can import items from Reminders, and it works with Siri. It's a joy to use, and it does everything I want it to do plus some things I never thought of and will use all the time. I downloaded the free trial version last night and within an hour paid for it with gratitude.

Can you sort ibookshelf books by collections and list all of the books in each collection?

can you sort ibookshelf books by collections and list all of the books in each collection?

The collection changes a little by the criteria you use to view the books, and you can view them by Title, Author, and Category. So, yes, you can.
The default view is Book view. On the upper right part of the page, you'll see four white blocks - that's the icon for book view. The icon on the right has three white lines; that's where you find Title, Author, and Category view. You can't create folders in any view.
