The album dates for sorting setting is not working. It broke 2 years ago (April '23) after an update and I'm still waiting for it to be fixed. For people unfamiliar with this issue, it impacts the PC and iOS clients, It always sorts in 'original release date' order even if you select 'release date'. Oddly, in ARC it works ok. The setting is respected in ARC. I've been promised countless times that this would be fixed, but it hasn't yet. 'Low priority' is one thing. But 2 years? I am a lifetime purchaser, but because of this bug I seldom use Roon now. Some may question why this is. I'd reply I like having my physical CDs in a certain order on my shelves. It should be no different with Roon.
