New music sorting

[grantgg]

After recently migrating from Roon to Sence on my Zen Mini, I find that 10 or 15 albums show incorrectly at the top of the NEW MUSIC, They were added a few years ago, but their 'Added on' date in Sense show the recent date I converted from roon i think. The rest of my 1200 albums sort correctly as far as i can see. I tend to look at NEW MUSIC for my latest downloads/imports so this is a bit of a nuisance having to scroll past these each time.


Is there a system Tag or setting I can modify to correct these? Mp3tag doesn't show any relevant tag. thanks

Correction. Though the rest of my collection appears correct based on 'By Added Date', The 'added on' dates seems to be all over the map. some say 12/07/2025 or 15/03/2025.

I'm not sure, but the 'added on' dates may just correlate to the moments where you might have turned Roon Core off and switch back to Sense. The Sense library is shutdown when the system is running Roon Core, so the point here is that any music added to the server whilst it was running as a Roon Core, would not have actually been detected/added to the Sense library until the next time Sense library was allowed to come online again.
For example, you could have added albums back in March whilst it was a Roon Core, but if the server was not put back into Sense Standalone again until May, then those albums would appear to be added to Sense library in May, not March.

Probably unrelated, but on older software it used to be that if you decided to add a streaming service like Qobuz, then all of that music would go to the top of New Music in Sense, even if in reality you saved it on Qobuz years before. But we fixed that with a software update so that Sense identifies the date of when music was originally saved/favourited on a streaming service, and accounts for that in the New Music chronology correctly.
