ITunes 9 Store - Sort by Release Date

I cannot get this function on iTunes 9... I usually go to top songs and then sort it by release date (to know which songs are newest). Does this functionality exist in iTunes 9 store?

Vibelicious, here's what I stated:
"I have seen this exact problem before. I live, repeat LIVE, in the "view ALL music release section" for browsing and buying my music, and have had to speak up about it when it has disappeared in the past.
From past experience, what I believe has happened here is that the programmers made some changes to the store while not intending to affect the view all music area, then tested most of the store apps after the changes, then just happened to overlook that this particular area of the store in question "disappeared" (because of a glitch in the new programming).
This is possibly the third time I have seen this specific type of problem occurrence happen over the last several years. The programmers have gone back in each time and fixed the problem after customers brought the problem to their attention. I will follow up with an email to the store peeps to bring it to their attention again because they are probably currently unaware of the problem. I encourage other concerned customers to do the same. Currently, this function has not worked for maybe a few days now."
Update: I did email customer service, and they did respond as always. I started by describing what I had basically noticed and theorized about above, then I asked only one simple question: Is it a glitch, and if so, will the programmers fix it? My question was not answered to make a long story short.
From my previous encounters, sometimes it's just hit and miss getting the specific answer to the question(s) posed to store service reps (even though they will always respond to emails). It's just a roll of the dice who responds. Some are very good at giving specific answers to specific questions, while others are just the opposite. I struck out this time, but do not give up just yet. You could have better luck, so please give it a shot yourself and let us know what they said back here either good or bad.

Podcasts Sorting by Release-Date in Smart Playlist

Hi, all
I keep all episodes of prefered podcast programs (like business week's cover stories), i sort all episodes of each program by release date, which i believe is the most accurate sorting method.
When i create a smart playlist of one particular program, i find the order of episodes in that program's playlist are all wrong, and there is no way to sort them in right order, which is, by release date. Unless i manually ordering them.
The "sort-by-release-date" option does come out while organising the entire podcasts library, but it dissapears in playlist or smart playlist, can I get it back?

You are correct- when creating a Smart Playlist, you are not allowed to sort the playlist by "Release Date".
I find I am able to right click on the current column headers and choose to view "Date Modified" or "Date Created".
By sorting by these columns, I find I can usually sort by the most recently released or downloaded episodes.

Sort by Release Date option?

I don't know why an option to sort by "release date" is absent from iTunes. It seems like an obvious way to layout/view music. There isn't even an option to enter the "Release Date"(only "Year") on music files.
I use the pattern "Year/Month/Date - Album Name" with in the "Album Sort Order" field to help iTunes sort my Albums by release date. But, within the "Grid View", it doesn't seem to be possible to sort by "album"(which would use the "sort album" field) to see all the albums by release date.
It just seems like such a basic thing to be added to such a music application.
It seem like there are a lot of these "little" details which iTunes never seems to add. For example: the ability for iTunes to read and write multiple Genres(& subgenre) entries with in a MP3 IDtag.
I just don't understand how the devs can neglect such options, which would be valuable for anyone who likes to keep there music properly labelled.
I wish they would forget silly ideas like PING, and concentrate on trying to make iTunes a deep music browser and management tool, like it should be.
That's the end of my rant.

I was talking about "Grid View". I cannot sort my albums by release date within "Grid View".
But yes, you are correct. Although, in my experience, the issue with using the "Release Date" field is that iTunes seems unable to read some dates correctly.
For example; I have Bob Dylans album "Times They Are A Changin'", and if I enter the release date(using a 3rd party program because you can't edit the "ReleaseTime" field in iTunes), using the correct format, "1964-01-13" iTunes displays this as "Thu 01/01/70". I know this is the correct format because I can enter a newer date and it will display correctly.
So it seems iTunes doesn't recognise anything before that date.

Where is sort by release date in itunes store?

Taking this feature away makes it VERY difficult to find what you're looking for in the store now. For example, if you search for GLEE, and filter media by type 'music' there are hundreds of songs. I can't figure out how they are sorted (if at all.) If want the songs in tonight's episode I am out of luck!
Am I missing something, did it just move and I can't find it? This seems rediculously stupid to remove this feature. I keep looking for it because I can't imagine why Apple would want to take it away.
Any body got any ideas?

Sorry, I was looking under Podcasts, not at a smart playlist.
The release date is not part of the ID3 tags. It is read from the RSS server when the podcast is downloaded.
I suggest sending feedback to Apple here ->http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunesapp.html
I will do also as I think this is a very good idea.

My app on the app store is not on category lists sorted by "release date"

yesterday, i got an email from apple that my first app is now on the app store! when i submitted the iphone app (popr), i marked it as an arcade and action game, as well as falling under the category of "entertainment." my belief is that these chosen categories is where my app will be displayed in itunes (for example, since my game is marked under "entertainment," i believe that the app should be viewable by launching the app store, clicking "entertainment" as a category, and hitting the "release date" tab at the top).
i am wondering if my belief is correct - does anyone know whether my app will get on this "recently added" list within the next few days (or at all)?
thanks in advance!

Noon Sept 3 - his app
10 am Sept 3 - my app
9:55 am Sept 3 - her app
7:42 am Sept 3 - their app
6:55 pm Sept 2 - his other app
3:15 pm Sept 2 - my other app
7 am Sept 2 - their other app
5:10 pm Sept 1 - someone else's app
You seem to be under the impression that there is importance to being on the list above #25. While there can be benefit for a very short time, this is such a small factor in the overall success of your app that you should not put any planning or hope into it.
Your app is now down on that list and will never go higher. I'll repeat...it will only go lower, each time another new app is released. Forget about it.
You now need to market your app. Get it talked about on game forums, issue a press release via prMac and hope for good reviews.

Sort by release date is not possible in itunes 9

hello,
in itunes 9 there is no release-date-column in the results-table available after using the itunes search, is there a solution at the planning stage?
it was very useful and now only available when using the columns-browser, but it´s not helpful, if you´re searching a song without knowing the artist...
thanks for answering me.

Sorry, but, as this is a user to user forum, no one here would know what Apple is planning.
Submit your feedback directly to Apple:

But keep in mind they won't answer you.

Sort by release date

I would like to sort albums by release date but none have the field completed. Does anyone know if it is possible to manually add a release date to an album?

Unfortunately, the Release Date field only works in movies and podcasts. This is one of my biggest pet peeves about iTunes. Often artists release more than one thing in the course of a year, and I'm certainly not the only person in the world who wants to sort those releases in true chronological order.
I've found that I can work around this by entering the date into the Grouping field as (year).(month).(day) with leading zeros (i.e. 2007.08.02), then sorting by grouping.

FEATURE REQUEST: Allow Smart Playlists to sort by Release Date

I listen to my iPod in my car and have a one of those kits where you can control your iPod through your stock stereo (i.e. select playlists by pressing buttons 1-6, and changing tracks with the next track/ last track buttons). One of my playlists is a smart playlist that looks for all downloaded audio podcasts that have not yet been played. As of right now, I have to go into the playlist after every update and reorder the podcasts manually in order from earliest release to newest release. The only date-sorting column right now is "date added". This doesn't work because if I update and download two or three episodes from one podcast, they all have the same date in that field, even if they were released on different days.
Please iTunes, allow a column heading that sorts podcasts by Release Date. This would make my life a lot easier and I'm sure I'm not the only one. I know when I'm looking at all my podcasts from the Podcast-Manager portion of iTunes that I can see the Release Date column, however it is not an available column outside of that view.
Anybody else wanna see this feature?

I was looking for the exact funtion too. Please don't make our life any harder

Will releasing my app in iTunes connect change the release date?

Hi there,
I have an unusual situation. We submitted version .9 of our app to the appstore, and it was approved. Even though the game is not done, we did this because we wanted a version that we could submit to the Indiecade festival (deadline today!), and we wanted to be able to send them a promocode rather than have to go through all of the hoops of UDID and all that.
We have a release date set for far in the future, and we also have the game set to 'pending developer release'.
Even though the game was approved and is ready for us to 'release' to the store, it wont yet spit out promocodes for us yet, because it is not 'live'. I want it to go live, but not actually be available on the store. I think this will work, I'm just concerned that if we push that button, it will change our release date and actually make the game available on the app store.
Can anyone confirm that this is NOT what will happen? I hope I'm making my situation clear. Thanks very much.
Chris

I would suggest you contact the iTunes Store via your iTunes Connect account and ask them. That's the way you'll get definitive answers; we're all just fellow users here.

ITunes Crashes EVERY TIME I go to iTunes Store, S'up wit dat?

Headline sez it all: I get the following message: KERNPROTECTIONFAILURE -
Whenever I go to the iTunes Store, iTunes will crash completely. Frustrating. What's up? I am on a G4 CPU @ 1.5 megahertz. 10.4.8 with QT 7.1. Can figure it out - gotta get me back into iTunes so I can spend some money - please advise. The Apple Sales Prevention Department did a wonderful job of keeping me out of the iTunes Store... now can someone please go b-tch-slap that department manager and have the software nerds advise a proper fix to this issue?

Hi Aarvak!
It's unclear from your message exactly which version of iTunes and Quicktime you're using. Are you up-to-date with all your software? Have you ever successfully connected to the Store? What type of internet connection do you use?
That info will help greatly to get a handle on this.

Why doesn't the itunes store give original album dates anymore?

Didn't itunes use to list the original album release date alongside the album?

I think iTunes has always listed the year of release of whatever version they are selling. Many of them are releases, remastered, etc.

Unable to connect to iTunes Store using a 3G data card, but fine on wifi???

I am unable to connect to the iTunes Store when making use of my 3G data card - serviced by the South African Service Provider MTN. A message pops up saying "iTunes cannot connect to the iTunes Store. Make sure your connection is active and try again." Fantastic! What baffles me is that I am able to connect to the iTunes Store through a Wi-Fi hotspot, but not when using the 3G card. I have checked my Internet connection, checked for PC updates (Windows 7) updated my iTunes, un-installed and re-installed the programme, but to no avail. Any ideas?

I beleive I may have found a workaround to this issue. In "Settings" select "Safari". Then change "Block Cookies" from "Never" to "From third parties and advertisers". Lastly clear your history and cookies & data. After completing these steps I was able to enter the iTunes store again.
I don't know why this worked but this was not necessary when using iOS 6. Hopefully Apple is aware of this "bug" and will fix soon.

Where is sort by Release Date in Smart Playlists

I use smart playlists to select and control what podcasts goto my ipod as the standard podcasting sync controls are pretty lame. Where is the order by release date colum? (show colum option) so why is this not included as an option?
Oh and as a hint I'm sure lots have seen if you hold down the control key while selecting a podcast it will pull back deleted podcasts...

Sorry, I was looking under Podcasts, not at a smart playlist.
The release date is not part of the ID3 tags. It is read from the RSS server when the podcast is downloaded.

Itunes store sort list

I chose the song/artist I am searching for a I get the list of choices but, I cannot sort by song name, artist, album name, etc. What's the deal?

I agree with this- have you found an answer yet?
My wish list is multiple pages and I have to resort each page to see if I have duplicates. I wish there was a way to sort by Album or Name of Song or Artist and have it APPLY to all pages.
