simonrana Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Albums > List Options > By Year correctly orders the albums by year. However if you select "Reverse" the order reverts back to the standard "By Name" order rather than reversing the "By Year" order. Although not the end of the world this is a bit of a pain as the standard "By Year" order goes oldest to newest, meaning I have to scroll all the way to the bottom to get at my newest albums (which are the ones I'm actually interested in!) I'm running the latest update (2.0.9-build-548-play) on a Huawei Ascend G300 (crap I know!) on Android 4.0.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxmp Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 They are sorted "By year, By title". This means if there is no year, or year is the same, the sorting for that no-year/same year is by title.Basically, this sorting won't work well if majority of albums/song has no year tag.Thanks!

simonrana Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 Wait what?! That answer has nothing to do with the bug I pointed out! If you sort "By Year" then your music gets sorted by year (and yes I realise that it can't sort albums with no Year information, that is understandable). However if you select "Reverse" AND "By Year" at the same time then the sort ignores year entirely for all music and just sorts by title. Given that "By Year" on its own puts the oldest music at the top of the list and the newest at the bottom, and people are generally more interested in their newest music, this bug is kind of annoying. Apologies if I'm coming off rude, but I can't really see how I could've explained the bug any clearer than I did to begin with! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bush Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 It has always been like this. Reverse order on lists does not work. There's been a thread before and it still hasn't been fixed. Doesn't look like it will ever be fixed. Its pretty annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonrana Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 Oh okay, that's a shame. I would've thought it'd be a pretty easy fix too. Oh well, thanks for the response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowantphil Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Yes, I just checked on my phone, and reverse sorting always sorts by album name. Poweramp can't sort in reverse by artist, year, or date. It is odd that this bug isn't even acknowledged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bush Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 I just re installed Poweramp to see has this been fixed yet. Nope. Unbelievable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
