artist + year arrangement

BONUSBOX · 1st June 2005, 00:59

hello. ive been using winamp for the longest time and i have to say it is the greatest music player ever created. i am a fan. anyway, recently i tagged my music collection with the 'year' tags. and when i am in the media library, i click the 'artist' button so it arranges by artist. it does what it is supposed to, but then the albums from that artist are listed in alphabetical order. how do i make it so that they are listed in order of artist, and then in the artist the albums are in chronological order by year? is this possible? thanks.

i can't figure this out either.
in the media library, if i go to "all" in artists and "all" in albums i'd like it to be ordered by artist, then year, then album (for two albums from the same year to be alphabetical - i don't have the date tagged in my mp3s), then track. so i click these headings in reverse order. however, when i get to the "artist" one it not only orders by artist but also by album, alphabetically. i can't figure out how to get around it.

i'd also like the albums to come up in year order in the albums list when i click an artist.

in an ideal world it'd be alphabetically when "all" is selected under artists, but then by year when an artist is selected.

i wonder if there is a way to fix this?
