Barney Bentall - Gin Palace is listed in the wrong position in the Artist’s Discography. It should be the second album in the list.
Hi @DrTone,
Thank you for posting. From your screenshot, it looks like this is the Qobuz album object.
Here’s what’s happening:
Qobuz has the distribution rights to the digital re-release from True North Records. They officially released this album to streaming on April 1, 2016. If you go to Bandcamp, for instance, or the True North Records Artist page, you’ll find a similar 2016 release date. This means that this erroneous metadata was likely attached by the distributor upstream of Qobuz.
It’s a common metadata pipeline problem for the digital re-release date to usurp the original release date. Since these slips tend to crop up visually in Roon, we collect them and submit them upstream for correction. We can’t always guarantee that they are resolved in a timely manner or at all, but we will do our best here.
@connor Shouldn’t my manual edits override this data?
Hey @DrTone,
How specifically did you edit the release date in this case?
In Roon, navigate to the album → click the three-dot menu → Edit → Edit Album → manually set the Release Date to the correct original year. This should override Qobuz’s metadata for sort purposes. If the discography sort still doesn’t update, a library rescan or Roon restart may be needed.
Have you tested preferring your local copy of the album over the Qobuz version?
Original release date is ignored in Discography and as far as I know that’s an acknowledged issue that is still unfixed
Edit: Actually @DrTone pointed this out in December 
I don’t have the Qobuz version added to my library, only my local copy.
I manually edited the date on my local album as shown in my attached images. It didn’t fix the sorting.
Hey @DrTone,
Thanks for confirming, and @Suedkiez is spot on! We do have a ticket open for this — it’s something our team is aware of and actively tracking. We appreciate your patience as we work through our queue, and we’ll be sure to update this thread as soon as there’s progress to share.
