Sorting albums

[Simon W]

Please give me consistent options to sort albums. Specifically,

From Music->Albums, I can already choose among ‘By Album’ which is alphabetical, ‘By Artist’, ‘By Added Date’, and ‘By Date’. This is great.

From Music->Artists->(any artist with more than 4 albums)->My Library->Show All. Here I cannot choose the sort order. It’s by added date, I think. I wish I can choose between that and alphabetical. Maybe by release date too.

From Music->Artists->(any artist with more than 4 albums in Qobuz)->Qobuz … Albums by (artist)->Show All. Here, I can choose the sorting among ‘By Release Date’ and ‘By Relevance’. No alphabetical sorting, though.

From Music->Genres&Tags->(any tag). Here I can choose among ‘album’, ‘artist’, ‘all artist’, and ‘composer’. Choosing ‘album’ here means albums are sorted by artist then by added date(?). This is a little inconsistent, but useful most of the time. It’ll be nice if I can also choose to sort alphabetically or just by release date.

Thank you.

This is something that has been touched upon for awhile on the feedback zone, so do feel free to add your vote here:

Provide sort options for albums under a Artist - Feature Requests - innuOS Feedback Zone

Currently innuOS displays the albums from an Artist based on the Release Date of the album, to provide a chronological view of the albums from an Artist. However, in the case of compilations, it could be useful to offer an alphabetical sort as well. It&

Albums that are stored locally in sorted, in Artist view, by year of release from newest to oldest (so long as the year of release is present and correct in the metadata)
