Actually I have noticed this for considerable time but not sure though when this started (before or after EA become available, or if it’s in production as well), and never got around to reporting. Some albums are out of order in Discography by release date. I see this with at least the following two artist - the only ones I checked because I have a large collection of them, with many local files as well, and really care / know about the dates:
Sorting is set to original release date:
When looking in the Overview or My Albums in date order, it is correct. However, in Discography some are out of order although most are correct. Most of the affected albums have manually edited release dates. However, it can’t be only this, because:
- Some albums are correctly sorted although they also have edited dates.
- Some albums are incorrectly sorted although they have Roon-supplied dates.
Here’s Sonic Youth in the Discography overview, I marked those that are out of order in red:
These are the date details of the incorrectly sorted Sonic Youth albums:
Live at the Continental Club:
Live in Venlo, Holland:
SYR 6: Koncertas Stan Brakhage Prisinimui:
SYR 8: Andre sider af Sonic Youth
Smart Bar Chicago 1985:
The Diamond Sea (note - in the overview screenshot above, this was not yet added to the library for some reason, I added it now, and same issue)
Spinhead Sessions:
Live in Moscow:
Take My Hand:
Here’s one out of several examples for an album that has an edited data but nevertheless is sorted correctly. Sonic Death: Sonic Youth Live:
Here’s another artist, Giant Sand. Out of about 35, most are correct but some are not:
Again, the date details of the incorrect albums:
Black Out / Stromausfall:
Is All Over … the Map. (This has a date coming from Roon):
Backyard Barbecue Broadcast. (Also with date coming from Roon):
Beyond the Valley of Rain:
