Hello,
I'm trying to order my music in iTunes, and I have a problem: there's certain artist who launches more than a song a year, and when I try to order it, because it's the same year, the latest song comes before than the older. I'm open for tips. I've seen this thing called "Número de disco", which I suppose it's translated to "Disc Number". How do I use it? What number do I have to put?

no disc number is for when you have an album that spans more than one disc, so for example The Beatles - White album was two discs, which would mix together unless you use disc number. so Back in the USSR would be The Beatles, White Album, Disc 1, Track 1 as opposed to Birthday which would be Disc 3, Track 1.

I can think of a few workarounds. You could to put the songs from the same year in the same album like "2016 Songs - Artist X" and "2017 Songs - Artist X", then reorder the track numbers in order of the songs' release history.

Another option would be to put numbers in front of the album like "01-Album A", "02-Album B", "03-Album C" and so on.

Of course, you could just create a playlist of that artist and manually sort the songs in the order you wish them to be played.
