Feature description:
Use the date field when sorting chronologically
Problem solved:
My understanding of the (chronological) sort is by year, and within a year it sorts lexicographically (of album name).
It neglects the month (possibly day too).
Brought benefits:
It’s natural to consider date when sorting
Other application solutions:
Navidrome backend
Android 13.7
Additional description and context:

img2: sorting in app: Changes → Ice → Lam → Made → Omni (alphabetic ordering)
*ID3v2.4 tag field year
columns correspond to (ignored?) tags
“OG Yr”: originalyear
“OG rt”: originalreleasetime
