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.
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.

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.

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?

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.

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

Where to find the release dates for Universal software

Can anyone point me in the direction of where I can get info on release dates of the Universal binary software and games.
Also would Rosetta really slow up a game like The Sims2 or would I not notice?

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.

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.

Where is Purchase date in smart playlists menu?

I recently had to buy a new MAC as my old g5 quite on me. With new macbook pro came iTunes 11, the bane of music enthusiasts the world over. Now one of my most used playlists, a smart list of recently purchased music is useless.The purchase date delineation in the smart playlist was changed to date modified which is not at all the same thing. Now there is no purchase date delineation in the smart playlist setup menu even though you can still put it in column header of the window bar. Can anyone recommend a work around for this? iTunes 11 wasn't supported on my old g5 and I didn't realize how lucky I was.

Purchase Date and Date Added are by no means the same thing. If you are building an iTunes library on a new computer, or remove and then re-add songs (eg edownload songs from Music Match), they will no longer have the original add date.

When I press Sort By Release Date on an artist's page, it doesn't sort?

I have also downloaded the latest itunes version and still doesn't work.

By the way, the safari setting is: private browsing off and accept cookies from visited. Much help is appreciated!

IPhone No Longer Sorts Podcasts By Release Date After 3.1 Update

After upgrading to iPhone OS 3.1 and iTunes 9.0(70) Podcasts on the iPhone no longer sort according to their release date. The ordering is definitely not alphabetical or any of the other user selectable sorting options. If I had to guess I'd say it's sorting them by reverse download order (which when you update less frequently than once a day is quite confusing since iTunes downloads most recent first). Is this a problem with the iPhone OS, iTunes or an option that I'm missing somewhere (the iTunes podcast tab is set to sort by release date).

I'm thinking this is not a iphone 3.1 upgrade issue, as the only thing I have upgraded is to iTunes 9 and I am having the exact same problem. After upgrading my phone did lock up really bad. The screen was on, was showing slide to unlock but was totally unresponsive to the home and sleep buttos. Plugging it back into the computer also did nothing. I had to hard restart it with the home and sleep button in sych.
My Podcasts have no sorting capability what so ever. There is no logical reason they are so jumbled up.

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 ?

Bazoingdoing wrote:
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.
