B1254 Album sort preference by Original Release Date ignored in Discography [Edit: However, explains only some misplaced albums] [Ticket in]

That setting doesn’t apply to the Discography section by design from what I understood during 1.8 testing.

Yes, I figured, like I wrote:

The Discography using the release date (apparently expected)

Still doesn’t make sense though to ignore the user preference for that - in particular as the default dates are often incorrect and flip the two dates, so after fixing them manually it would be nice if the Discography also used the fixed ones.

However, there are other issues with dates in the Discography, as documented in other posts above

Oh I agree a general rethink between Discography and Overview is needed. The two views can cause confusion. Since you.have the library icon in Discography, the question is Overview needed or relevant crops up

I think I’ve just hit the same problem - unless there’s been a fix and I’ve found a new issue?

Sorry to bump an old thread. Just noticed that “Album Dates for Sorting” set to Original release date isn’t followed in Discography or Overview. I’m certain it was at some point at least in overview, seems to be some type of regression.
