Sort albums by release date/day

I would like the „Sort by release date“ option for local library albums to be more precise. Currently, If for example I enter „2024-08-21“ in the „Date“ tag field, „2024“ is displayed as the album release date. That means in this case all albums from 2024 are not sorted because all have the same release date 2024 and the exact day is ignored. Instead, these albums are sorted alphabetically instead. If an artist released more than one album in a year, the sorting should show these in the correct sequence.

  @humphry, the same as all other statusses. Dig around and you will see all feature requests end like this.

  Actually - it's a significant change... the field in question, in most standard ID3 tagging not just BluOS, is traditionally not a [date] field. As a result it can not correct the difference between 2024-08-01 vs 01-08-2024. This does not preclude the difference between US formats seeing January 8th versus International standards seeing August 1st in the sample date. That being said, it has been added and reviewed. Currently there is no estimated time of implementation in this.
  
  Thanks for understanding.
