Feature Request: Sort tracks on Date Modified #3

Closed kushalchauhan98 closed 5 years ago

kushalchauhan98 commented 6 years ago

We can sort the tracks according to the title, artist name, album name and duration. Can you add a column for Date Modified too so that recently added tracks appear at the top?

This will take time because I currently don't store file metadata (date modified, date created, etc) that's not specified in the id3 tags. Adding support for this will require changes to the data structures and other helper functions for sorting date, etc.

I have a plan to revamp the column layout system to allow the user to specify the columns they want. I will definitely add date modified column along with that change set. Most possibly in the release after 2.0.

I have pushed out the release with support for the date columns. They are not visible by default, you have to select them in the settings dialog. You'll also need to refresh the library so that the date attributes are read and stored in the db.
