Sort Movies by release date?

prophetizer · 2011-08-21 17:42

is there a way to sort the movies by release date? either theatrical or DVD/Bluray. would prefer DVD/Bluray street date but either is ok. i haven't seen this anywhere, and it's a nice way to sort

Options menu > Sort Order.

that only gives release year, not really what i'm looking for.

I think year is the only sort option. There isn't an option to sort by any finer grained date.

I would love this as well. Recently Added is fine and all, but to display with "Recently Released," now that would be something! Having new DVD/Bluray releases first, in the order they were released...you get the point. A huge +1 from me Big Grin

+1 from me as well. I know this is possible in Plex, any way to get it working in xbmc?

+1 for me ... With every new update, I go directly to this sort option, hoping that the XBMC team has added it.

With hundreds of movies, it's great to sort by release date specifically, it would probably be one of the most used sort options if it were available.

Another really great option would be Watched>Release Date. In other words, unwatched first, then ordered by release date inside of those. Followed by watched, ordered by release date.

However, the simpler option would be fine ;-)

Plex has this, and i use it and sort by recently added the most
