iPod Is there a way to reorder albums by year while keeping them alphabetical by artist?

[bigslob]

I know I can do it with grid view, but is there a way to transfer that to the list view?

You mean order by artist and then year, so that albums for each artist appear in order of release? Clicking on the Album list header until it changes to Album By Year ought to do it.

Or did you mean by Year and then Artist? Not sure that's possible

List view, sort by year,
then type in artist name in search.

That's how I have mine, it kinda takes a while though...Use the "Sort Album" feature under Get Info...Say an artist has three albums
-Album 1 release date 1999
-Album 2 release date 2000
-Album 3 release date 1998

and you want them in order of year go:
-(1)Album 3
-(2)Album 1
-(3)Album 2

That's how I did it, hope if helps and isn't too conufsing lol...

I also use the sort album field to acheive this, although I enter the actual full release dates. This way the artists stay in alphabetical order and I can even search by release date.

After a bit of fiddling and once you understand the way it works you can adapt this or create your own method to suit your personal needs.
