Why doesn't iTunes allow the podcasts to be downloaded by Release Date?

I am using iTunes 11.0.2 (25) on my iMac (2010). I am curious why iTunes does not allow the podcasts to be downloaded by Release Date?
It will help me so much when I create the playlists by Release Date especially when I download the podcasts after their releases.
Please advice and thank you.

I find that this setting does remove any podcasts that I have already listened to at the time of the next refresh, provided that I have not told iTunes not to delete the podcast (right-click, Do Not Auto Delete). If you need it gone right away, try hitting the refresh button.

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?

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.

In itunes 11.0.5, suddenly can't sort podcasts by number, only by release date (under view options). Help!

To look for duplicate podcasts, I often sort by number. But all of a sudden, that option has gone.

Me, too. I used to be able to sort by name. But now the only option is "release date." What happened?

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!

Sorting Music By Release Date

Hi guys.
I'm new to this Forum so apologies if this has already been asked.
I want to sort my music on my iTunes in Release Date order not just the year so its shows an artist complete discography from first release to current release. Is there a way of being able to do this ?

My music sorted in ascending order on iTunes, it has been since I've had iTunes. Prior to iOS 7.0.x, albums were sorted by name under the artist. In iOS 7.0.x, that changed, and albums were sorted by release date in ascending order (i.e. newest at the bottom). Now, in iOS 7.1.x, albums are sorted by release date in descending order (i.e. newest at the top).
It was changed on your system, not mine.
Mine were never sorted by release date. It has always been sorted Album by Artist.
Try this.
In iTunes, select the iPhone.
Then go to iTunes menu View > View options and select a sort, then sync the iPhone.

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

Can't sort Podcasts xcpt by Release Date since upgrading to 11.0.4

I'm on a Macbook Pro running OSX 10.6.8. Since upgrading to iTunes 11.0.4 I'm unable to sort my Podcasts by any criteria but Release Date. I'd like to be able to sort them (as I have in the past) by rating. I've tried by clicking at the top of the Rating column - no luck - as well as by using Show View Options under the View menu. Oddly enough, I am able to sort by the Rating column in Music.
Another anomaly since "upgrading" (a debatable description!), when I tried to look up Sorting in iTunes Help and got back window below, I was unable to go to any of the links. I'd get the hand/finger cursor but clicking did absolutely nothing.
Any help/suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Beth

Edit the release date of a podcast ?

Hello everyone !
I have a question regarding iTunes and podcasts management. I really enjoy a specific podcast, which I follow from a few monthes. A friend of mine has given me the whole archives of the show, from more than two years, as plain mp3 files. I successfully added them to iTunes, then specified them as podcasts so that they would appear in the right section of the library.
But there is a glitch : the old podcasts do not have a release date, on the contrary to the more recent ones that I have downloaded from the iTunes store. I would like to manually edit the release dates of the old files so that they fit with the new ones, but I can't seem to find the corresponding field in the informations window...
So if any of you have a solution, I would be very interested !
Thanks in advance !

(I'm running iTunes 10.4.1 (10) and Mac OS X 10.7.1)

Hi, Thomas. It took me several hours of scouring the Internet and testing solutions on my computer, but I finally have answers for you:
This will be a comprehensive answer that includes solutions to some things you may not have asked about. It's so I can copy this answer into several other threads where similar questions are being asked.
Q: How do I add an mp3 podcast file to Mac iTunes 10.6.3 (the latest version as of July 13, 2012)?
1. Open iTunes, go to the FILE menu, select ADD TO LIBRARY, select your mp3 file in the dialog box, and click on Open.
2. The file will most likely have been added to your Music library and not your Podcast library. If this is the case, select the newly-added podcast in your Music library, go to the FILE menu, select GET INFO, click on the OPTIONS tab of the dialog box, change the MEDIA KIND dropdown menu to "Podcast," and click on OK. Your mp3 podcase should move to the Podcasts library.
Q: Now that I've added the mp3 podcast to my Podcasts library in iTunes, how do I change the release date so that it shows up in the proper order with all the other podcasts in that series?
1. Download the program ID3 Editor from http://www.pa-software.com/id3editor/
2. After you've downloaded, extracted, and moved the application to your Applications folder, open ID3 Editor.
3. Go to the FILE menu in ID3 Editor and choose OPEN and select your mp3 file from the iTunes Music folder (not the original mp3 which may be in a different location on your computer). If you don't know where it is, go to iTunes, right-click (or <Control>-click) on the podcast, and select SHOW IN FINDER to see its exact location. The usual path is USER NAME > MUSIC > iTUNES MUSIC > PODCASTS > folder with name of podcast.
4. Your podcast will open in ID3 Editor with the Standard tab active. Click on the EXTENDED tab to see the RELEASED tag field.
5. In the RELEASED tag field, add or change the podcast release date to whatever you want it to be. The format is 2012-07-13 16:30:00 (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS).
6. Click on UPDATE in the lower left and the file will close with your changes saved.
7. Select the newly-updated podcast in your Music library, go to the FILE menu, select GET INFO, and click on OK to update the information in iTunes. The podcast should now move to the proper place in order when sorted by Release Date.
Q: My podcasts are in different folders instead of all being in the same folder. How do I group them back together?
1. To make all your podcasts show up in the same folder, the IDENTIFIER and FEED tags need to match for all podcasts.
2. Open ID3 Editor and open all of the podcasts you want to group in iTunes under one folder. (Remember to open the files from within the iTunes Music > Podcasts folder and not from your desktop or Documents folder where you may have stored originals downloaded from the podcast's website.)
3. For each mp3 file opened in ID3 Editor, switch from the Standard tab to the PODCASTS tab.
4. If you have a podcast that shows up properly in iTunes and should be the default name/location for all the other disparate podcasts in the series, bring that file's window forward and copy the URL from its IDENTIFIER field.
5. For every other mp3 file for that podcast that you have open in ID3 Editor, PASTE that URL in to the respective IDENTIFIER field for each one.
6. From the same file you copied the Identifier URL, now copy the FEED URL.
7. For every other mp3 file for that podcast that you have open in ID3 Editor, PASTE that URL in to the respective FEED field for each one.
8. For every podcast file, make sure ENABLE PODCAST TAG is checked (in the upper left of the Podcast tab).
9. Now you have to number all the files properly. To do that, you need to be in the STANDARD tab in ID3 Editor.
10. Count up the total number of podcasts in the series you're consolidating. That TOTAL# number will go in the second TRACK field in the upper left (i.e., Track # of TOTAL#)
11. In the first TRACK field in the upper left, number your files in the order you want them to be listed (i.e., TRACK# of Total#). Also put the TRACK# in the TRACK field in the upper right (next to "Enable V1 tag").
12. Click on UPDATE in the lower left of each file to close each one with your changes saved.
13. For each of the newly-updated podcast files in your Music library, select it so that it's highlighted, go to the FILE menu, select GET INFO, and click on OK to update the information in iTunes. Once you've done this for every file, all podcasts in the series should be under one folder. (If not, make sure the ALBUM field matches exactly for each file.)
I hope the above resolves all the difficulties you've experienced with Podcasts in iTunes. If not, let me know and I'll add more detail (or correct any inadvertent errors in my instructions).

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.

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.

When you show all albums, why can you only sort albums by best sellers, release date, etc., sometimes?

Sometimes I can sort albums by release date and other times I don't have the option. Its frustrating. I tried to look in preferences but couldn't change it.

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.

Release date column

Sometimes the release date for the podcast from the website is different, causing the podcast to be out of order when downloaded. Does anyone know why? Is there a way to fix it? I can't drag and drop to sort on the release date column.

Can release date only be change by the web master after I receive/download the podcast., Which if out of the continuos sequence date order changes the sequence displayed in the podcast library. Such as a podcast auto downloaded on august 8/13/07 with release date of 8/7/07, it would then show up/display under the 8/7/07 instead of 8/13/07. Is there anything I can do to correct this in the podcast library, besides making a playlist, then transferring everything over in the correct order?
Can anyone answer the above question?
2nd-Is this done on purpose or just human mistakes ?

How do you browse the catalog by release date? I would like to see all the new releases in specific catagories but it seems that feature went away. Or can you browse the whole catalog by release date?

It appears that you can not browse the catalog by release date or see all the new additions to the catalog.
